Future perspectives of anticholinergics for the treatment of asthma in adults and children. Authors : Buhl R1, Hamelmann E2,3. 1 Pulmonary Department, Johannes Gutenberg University Hospital Mainz, Mainz, Germany, roland.buhl@unimedizin-mainz.de. 2 Children's Center Bethel, Evangelic Hospital Bethel, Department of Pediatrics, Bielefeld, Germany. 3 University Children's Hospital, Allergy Center Ruhr, Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany. Abstract Despite major advances in therapeutic interventions and the availability of detailed treatment guidelines, a high proportion of patients with symptomatic asthma remain uncontrolled. Asthma management is largely guided by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) strategy and is based on a backbone of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy with the use of additional therapies to achieve disease control. Inhaled long-acting bronchodilators alone and in combination are the preferred add-on treatment options. Although long-ac...

ICON: Diagnosis and management of allergic conjunctivitis. Authors: Bielory L1, Delgado L2, Katelaris CH3, Leonardi A4, Rosario N5, Vichyanoud P6. Author information Abstract Ocular allergy (OA), interchangeably known as allergic conjunctivitis, is a common immunological hypersensitivity disorder affecting up to 40% of the population. Ocular allergy has been increasing in frequency, with symptoms of itching, redness, and swelling that significantly impacts an individual's quality of life (QOL). Ocular allergy is an often underdiagnosed and undertreated health problem, because only 10% of patients with OA symptoms seek medical attention, whereas most patients manage with over-the-counter medications and complementary nonpharmacological remedies. The clinical course, duration, severity, and co-morbidities are varied and depend, in part, on the specific ocular tissues that are affected and on immunologic mechanism(s) involved, both local and systemic. It is frequently associat...

Multiple Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome in a Large Database. Lunes 16 de marzo

De
Multiple Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome in a Large Database Authors: Quentin Landry  1 , Shuchen Zhang  2 , Laetitia Ferrando  1 , Jean Luc Bourrain  1 , Pascal Demoly  3 , Anca-Mirela Chiriac  4 Abstract Background: Multiple drug hypersensitivity syndrome (MDHS) is defined as confirmed drug hypersensitivity (DH) to at least 2 chemically and pharmacologically unrelated drugs. Reports of MDHS are scarce and poorly specified, and studies that diagnose MDHS on the basis of positive allergy test results are lacking. Objective: To evaluate retrospectively the frequency and characteristics of patients with MDHS in a large database. Methods: We included all patients who consulted and were tested in our Allergy Unit between September 1996 and February 2018 for a suspicion of DH. Clinical history and allergy workup results compiled in our Drug Allergy and Hypersensitivity Database were reviewed, and data of patients with a diagnosis of MDHS were retriev...
