Capítulo B01.  Tree pollen allergy. Authors:   Enrico Scala, Riccardo Asero, Verena  Niederberger                                            Abstract   Cup a 1 reactivity is the specific marker  allergen for a sensitization to the Cupressaceae family.  PR-10 molecules (i.e. Bet v 1) are the major  allergens in Fagales pollen, often associated  with an oral allergy syndrome.  Ole e 1 is the most common sensitizing molecule in olive pollen.  Pla a 1 and Pla a 2 may serve as a marker of  primary sensitization to plane tree pollen.

Sulfonamide Drug Allergy. Authors: Dorn JM1, Alpern M1, McNulty C1, Volcheck GW2. 1 Mayo Clinic, Division of Allergic Diseases, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA. 2 Mayo Clinic, Division of Allergic Diseases, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA. Volcheck.gerald@mayo.edu. 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 non-antibiotics. 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 evid

Nutritional Issues in Food Allergy. Authors: Skypala IJ1,2, McKenzie R3. 1 Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK. i.skypala@rbht.nhs.uk. 2 Imperial College, London, UK. i.skypala@rbht.nhs.uk. 3 Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK. Abstract Diet and nutrition play an important role in the development and management of food allergy. The diet of expectant mothers can have an effect on their offspring in terms of allergic outcomes. A host of confounding factors may influence this, with a maternal diet rich in fruits and vegetables, fish, vitamin D-rich foods associated with a lower risk of allergic disease in their children. More surprisingly, the consumption of milk and butter has also been shown to have a protective effect, especially in a farm environment. Similarly, the diet of the infant can also be important, not only in terms of breast feeding, but also the timing of the introduction of complementary foods, the diversity o

Current and emerging treatments for chronic spontaneous urticaria. Authors: Johal KJ1, Saini SS2. 1 Johns Hopkins Asthma and Allergy Center, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. 2 Johns Hopkins Asthma and Allergy Center, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland.

Abstract OBJECTIVES: To review the published literature on current and new treatments for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and to provide guidance on the potential use of these therapeutics. DATA SOURCES: A PubMed search was performed to include English-language articles with the keywords chronic spontaneous urticaria, pathophysiology, quality of life, and treatments, with a preference to those articles written in the last 5 years. ClinicalTrials.gov was reviewed for recent rele

Capítulo A6.  Allergen families and databases. Authors:   Heimo Breiteneder                                            Abstract   Proteins that share a common evolutionary origin - which is reflected first and foremost by their similar overall structure and topology - are grouped into families. Families with a common origin are grouped into superfamilies. Very few of the almost 16,300 protein families as described by the protein family database Pfam families harbour allergens. Proteins that are described worldwide as allergens can be classified roughly into 30 to 40 protein families. Based on their molecular, biologic and biochemical properties, allergenic proteins are able to initiate both innate and adaptive immune responses during the sensitization process that ultimately result in the production of allergen-specific IgE. Allergen databases make curated information available on the allergen nomenclature, allergen structures, allergen protein families, and the

Capítulo A5. Skin test, basophil activation test (bat) and provocation tests Authors:   Nikos Douladiris, Peter Korosec, Hans Jürgen Hoffmann                                            Abstract   Skin and other provocation testing with molecular allergens is safe and may provide important information beyond extract testing. Basophil activation testing of molecular allergens is a good alternative prior to skin or other provocation testing. EAACI link:  www.eaaci.org

Food Intolerances Authors: Tuck CJ1,2, Biesiekierski JR2, Schmid-Grendelmeier P3, Pohl D4 . 1 Gastrointestinal Diseases Research Unit, Queen's University, Kingston, ON K7L 2V7, Canada. 2 Department of Dietetics, Nutrition and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne 3086, Australia. 3 Allergy Unit, Department of Dermatology, University Hospital Zurich, 8091 Zurich Switzerland and Christine-Kühne Center for Allergy Research and Education CK-CARE, 7265 Davos, Switzerland. 4 Department of Gastroenterology, University Hospital Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland. daniel.pohl@usz.ch. Abstract Food intolerances are estimated to affect up to 20% of the population but complete understanding of diagnosis and management is complicated, given presentation and non-immunological mechanisms associated vary greatly. This review aims to provide a scientific update on common food intolerances resulting in gastrointestinal and/or extra-intestinal symptoms. FODMAP sensitivity has strong evidenc

Cardiac safety of second-generation H1-antihistamines when updosed in chronic urticaria. Authors Cataldi M1, Maurer M2, Taglialatela M1, Church MK2 . 1 Section of Pharmacology, Department of Neuroscience, School of Medicine, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy. 2 Dermatological Allergology, Allergie-Centrum-Charité, Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany. Abstract The symptoms of chronic urticaria, be it chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) or chronic inducible urticaria (CindU), are mediated primarily by the actions of histamine on H1 receptors located on endothelial cells (the weal) and on sensory nerves (neurogenic flare and pruritus). Thus, second-generation H1 antihistamines (sgAHs) are the primary treatment of these conditions. However, many patients are poorly responsive to licensed doses of antihistamines. In these patients, the current EAACI/GA2 LEN/EDF/WAO guideline for urticaria suggests updosing of sg
