Rosner G ,  Division of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology, NYU Winthrop University Hospital, 120 Mineola Blvd, Suite 410, Mineola, NY, 11501, USA. Abstract:  Systemic contact dermatitis (SCD) traditionally refers to a skin condition where an individual who is cutaneously sensitized to an allergen will subsequently react to that same allergen or a cross reacting allergen via a different route. It occurs to allergens including metals, medications, and foods. The exact pathophysiology underlying this disease remains unknown, although it appears to be mediated by type 4 hypersensitivity reactions and possibly type 3 hypersensitivity reactions. The p-I concept (pharmacol...

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome in children: what's known? What's new? Authors:  M.i. Petrosino, a. scaParrotta, P. Di FiliPPo, M. attanasi, s. Di Pillo, F. chiarelli, a. Mohn.  Department of Pediatrics, G. D’Annunzio University, Chieti, Italy Key. Abstract:   Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is an under-recognized and frequently misdiagnosed non-IgE mediated food allergy syndrome. Affected infants show gastrointestinal symptoms few hours after ingestion of the incriminating food. Pathophysiology of FPIES has not yet been clearly defined and needs further characterization. The common allergy tests are not helpful for this disorder and tests for food specific IgE are usually negative. A diagnostic oral food challenge (OFC) is the method to confirm the diagnosis of FPIES. This review summarizes what is known about epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical characteristics and diagnosis and what's new about therapeutic options of FPIE...

The Role of Dust Mites in Allergy J ffrey D. Miller 1,2 1 2  Jeffrey D. Miller JeffreyMillerMD@comcast.net New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY, USA Mission: Allergy, Inc, 28 Hawleyville Rd, Hawleyville, CT 06440, USA Abstract House dust mites are an unsurpassed cause of atopic sensitization and allergic illness throughout the world. The major allergenic dust mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus , Dermatophagoides farinae , Euroglyphus maynei , and Blomia tropicalis are eight- legged members of the Arachnid class. Their approximately 3-month lifespan comprises egg, larval, protonymph, tritonymph, and adult stages, with adults, about one fourth to one third of a millimeter in size, being at the threshold of visibility. The geographic and seasonal distributions of dust mites are determined by their need for adequate humidity, while their distribution within substrates is fu...

Gluten sensitivities and the allergist: Threshing the grain from the husks. Authors: J. G. Burkhardt , Allergy & Immunology Section, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA, USA. A. Chapa-Rodriguez , Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition Section, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA, USA. S. L. Bahna , Allergy & Immunology Section, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA, USA. Abstract:  “Gluten sensitivity” has become commonplace among the public. Wheat allergy (WA) and celiac disease (CD) are well-defined entities, but are becoming a fraction of individuals following a gluten free diet (GFD). Wheat allergy has a prevalence of <0.5%. Wheat, specifically its omega-5 gliadin fraction, is the most common allergen implicated in food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis. CD is a non-IgE hypersensitivity to certain cereal proteins: gluten in wheat, secalin in rye, h...

E-mail address: ricardona@une.net.co (R. Cardona) . Abstract Introduction: Omalizumab has been demonstrated to be a successful therapy in the management of asthma through reduction of patient’s symptoms and use of inhaled corticosteroids. The effect of omalizumab is achieved by immunoglobulin E (IgE) blockage and other secondary mechanisms resulting from this blockage. Because other diseases have an important IgE mediation in their physiopathology, the question arises as to if omalizumab would be u...

Management of Hypersensitivity Reactions to Taxanes. Author: Matthieu Picard, MD, FRCPC. Department of Medicine, Division of Allergy and Immunology, Hos pital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, Universite ́ de Montre ́al, 5415 boulevard de l’Assomption, Montre ́al, Quebec H1T2M4, Canada. Abstract:  Taxanes are an important class of antineoplastic agents used in the treatment of a wide variety of cancers. However, paclitaxel and docetaxel, which are the most commonly used taxanes, elicit immediate hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) in 5% to 10% of patients. Almost all patients that experience these reactions can be safely re-exposed to taxanes either through desensitization or challenge. This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of HSRs to taxanes and discusses the different options for their safe readministration.

Sulfonamide Drug Allergy  Joshua M. Dorn1 & Mollie Alpern1 & Caitlin McNulty1 & Gerald W. Volcheck1 Abstract: Purpose of Review We sought to review past and current literature on sulfonamide drug allergy and distill it in a practical manner to assist the clinician, specifically focusing on cross-reactivity and desensitization. Recent Findings There do not appear to be consistent genetic markers to reliably predict features of or the presence hypersensitivity reactions. Recent evidence continues to alleviate early concerns cross-reactivity between sulfonamide antibiotics and nonantibiotics. Summary Sulfonamide drug allergy is frequently encountered by the practicing clinician. For sulfonamide antibiotics, delayed rash is the most common clinical manifestation. There is no current evidence to support avoidance of all non-antibiotic sulfonamides in those with a reported allergy to sulfonamide antibiotics, although certain scenarios require caution. Available evid...

The spectrum of pulmonary aspergillosis. Authors:   Amjad Kanj MD, Nadine Abdallah MD and Ayman O Soubani MD. Division of Pulmonary Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine. Detroit, MI, USA Abstract:  Notable progress has been made in the past years in the classification, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary aspergillosis. New criteria were proposed by the Working Group of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) for the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). The latest classification of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) suggested by the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) has become widely accepted among clinicians. Subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is now considered a type of CPA, yet it is still diagnosed and treated similarly to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). Isavuconazole, an extended-spectrum triazole, has recently been ...
