Evaluation of the Clinical Features and Laboratory Data of Patients with Severe Eosinophilic Asthma Classified as Super-Responders, Partial Responders, or Nonresponders to Mepolizumab Treatment: A Real-Life Study
Conclusion: Baseline eosinophil count, eosinophil/lymphocyte ratio, and FEV1 (%) were found to be important predictors of response to mepolizumab treatment. Further studies are needed to define the characterization of mepolizumab responders in the real world.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Analysis of the Efficacy and Recurrence of Omalizumab Use in the Treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and Chronic Inducible Urticaria
Conclusion: Omalizumab was effective and safe for CSU and CIndU patients. Patients with CSU responded more quickly to omalizumab and showed a relatively better treatment effect. However, there was a possibility of relapse after discontinuation of omalizumab after complete control of CU, and in these cases, restarting omalizumab treatment after relapse was effective.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Novel Classification System of Adenoids Based on Appearance and Its Relationship with Drug Therapy
Conclusion: AR was the risk factor for the development of edematous AH. All subtypes of AH responded to montelukast, while there was an additional effect of nasal glucocorticoid in the edematous type. A combination therapy of nasal glucocorticoid with leukotriene receptor antagonist can be recommended for AH patients with AR, patients with edematous adenoids, and/or patients with increased eosinophils in blood routine.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Component-Resolved Analyses for Diagnosis of Food Allergies in Infants and Young Children in Southern China
Conclusion: Among these subjects, our study found the main allergenic component of egg white was Gal d 2, and the main allergenic components of milk were Bos d 4 and Bos d 5. CRD may help identify egg/milk allergies and non-allergies.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Prevalence of Uncontrolled Asthma despite Treatment with Medium- or High-Dose ICS/LABA Using Patient-Reported Outcomes in Japan: The KOCU (KnOwing the Controlled statUs of Asthma in Japan) Study
Conclusion: The frequency of uncontrolled asthma in the study population was high, as per JGL and GINA guidelines, despite good adherence to ICS/LABA treatment and other prescribed treatments over 12 weeks.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Disease and Quality of Life Aspects of Cat Allergy in Non-Pet Owners with Allergic Rhinitis
Conclusion: Due to the fact that indirect exposure to cat dander allergens can occur anywhere, even where cats are not present, cat-sensitized people should be aware of cat allergy. Cat allergy appears to be an independent risk factor for disease severity and QoL effects for non-pet owner patients with AR.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Eosinophilic Esophagitis beyond Eosinophils: An Emerging Phenomenon Overlapping with Eosinophilic Esophagitis, a CIA Update
Having long been considered the mainstay in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) diagnosis and pathogenesis, the role of eosinophils has been questioned and might be less important than previously thought. It is well known now that EoE is a Th2-mediated disease with many more disease features than eosinophilic infiltration. With more knowledge on EoE, less pronounced phenotypes or nuances of the disease have become apparent. In fact, EoE might be only the tip of the iceberg (and the most extreme phenotype) with several variant forms, at least three, lying on a disease spectrum. Although a common (food induced) pathogenesis has y...

CD300a Regulates Mouse Macrophage Functionality in Allergic Inflammation
Conclusions: The IR CD300a controls the activation state of M Φ, and its absence could augment the inflammatory state seen in CD300a−/− mice. Moreover, MCs can also influence M Φ phenotype switching. This may partially explain the delayed AI resolution seen in these mice.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Clinical Characteristics and Sensitization Profile of Patients Allergic to Cow Epithelium
Conclusion: CEA should be considered in patients exposed to cattle and as a cause of occupational disease. The IgE immunodetection revealed sensitization to a protein present in cow and bull urine (odorant-binding protein) not previously described.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)
