Allergic reactions to tick saliva components in zebrafish model
Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a tick-borne food allergy caused by IgE antibodies against the glycan galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose ( α-Gal) present in glycoproteins and glycolipids from mammalian meat. To advance ...

Eosinophilic inflammation of the digestive tract
Ann Pathol. 2023 May 10:S0242-6498(23)00091-3. doi: 10.1016/j.annpat.2023.04.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEosinophilic inflammation of the digestive tract is an inflammatory disease characterized by extensive infiltration of eosinophils into the gastrointestinal tract. It can be either a primary disorder of the digestive tract or be secondary to another cause of tissue eosinophilia. Primary disorders include eosinophilic esophagitis (OE) and eosinophilic gastroenteritis (GEEo). These are 2 rare pathologies considered to be diseases related to a Th2-mediated food allergy. The role of the pathologist is twofold: (1) he...

From the Pages of AllergyWatch
For this edition of From the Pages of AllergyWatch, I've chosen articles from the May-June 2022 AllergyWatch focusing on food allergies, the theme of this month's Annals. The first article, with comments from Dr. Lee, presents data from South Africa that alpha-gal allergy can be associated with parasites. The next article, with comments from Dr. Hernandez-Trujilio, reports improved outcomes in patients with EoE managed in multidisciplinary clinics. The last article, with comments from Dr. Lee, reports the use of an amino acid-based formula including synbiotics on infants with cow's milk allergy.

Clinical signs and diagnosis of feline atopic syndrome: detailed guidelines for a correct diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: In a similar way to atopic dermatitis in dogs, FASS is a clinical diagnosis based on the presence of compatible clinical signs and exclusion of other diseases with similar clinical features. Elimination or exclusion of fleas/flea allergy, other parasites, infections and food allergy is mandatory before reaching a diagnosis of FASS. PMID: 33470017 [PubMed - in process]

Hyper-eosinophilic syndrome: An uncommon cause of chronic abdominal pain in an elderly male.
We report an elderly male with a history of bronchial asthma, obstructive sleep apnoea and food allergy who presented with chronic abdominal pain and weight loss. Abdominal examination and routine evaluation were essentially normal other than a peripheral hyper-eosinophilia. We witnessed a brisk and lasting response to an elimination diet and corticosteroids.

Dysbiosis of the Gut Microbiome in Lung Cancer
In conclusion, compared to previous analyses of the relationship between LC and the lung microbiome, this is the first study of LC in connection with the gut microbiome (Hosgood et al., 2014; Kosikowska et al., 2016). Our findings support the hypothesis of LC-specific microbiota. We suggest that the reduced levels of Actinobacteria sp. and Bifidobacterium sp. and elevated levels of Enterococcus sp. are associated with LC. At the same time, we have further revealed that the damage of the normal function of the gut microbiome is associated with the progression of LC. the progress of LC. We hope that the results herein can pr...

Dietary Vitamin D3 Deficiency Increases Resistance to Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis Infection in Mice
Conclusion Altogether, our results indicate that dietary VitD deficiency is able to decrease lesion growth and provide an increase in Th1 response in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice upon L. (L.) amazonensis infection, although it does not decrease parasite burden in either of the murine models used. Thus, VitD may contribute to host susceptibility to murine tegumentary leishmaniasis. Further studies on the influence of immunonutrition in the leishmaniases are needed to better understand the immunobiology of these diseases. Author Contributions HdMG conceived and designed the experiments. GO-S, DB, MM, JEP, JCP, TR, AdF-M, and L...

Diagnosis and Treatment of Canine Acral Lick Dermatitis
Acral lick dermatitis is a common, frustrating disease. It is characterized by incessant licking behavior resulting in raised, thickened, ulcerative plaques, most commonly affecting the lower extremities of dogs. Underlying primary diseases, such as allergic disorders (atopic dermatitis, food allergy, flea allergy), orthopedic or neurologic disorders, parasitic diseases (eg, demodicosis), infections (fungal, bacterial), neoplasia or psychogenic disorders (compulsive/obsessive-compulsive disorder), and perpetuating factors (especially secondary infections) drive the itch-lick cycle. Appropriately addressing the primary unde...

How Common Is Hereditary Angioedema?
Discussion Angioedema is edema that is non-pitting, self-limited occurring in non-dependent areas usually in an asymmetric distribution usually on the lips, face, hands, feet, genitals and also in the bowel. It usually develops over minutes to hours (often 1-2 hours) with resolution usually within 24-48 hours. Angioedema often occurs with urticaria but 20% of patients may have isolated angioedema. Acute allergic angioedema is often caused by drugs (including antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), foods, infections, insects, various organic substances (i.e. latex, preservatives, formaldehyde, etc.), and oth...

Humoral Immunity in Arsenic-Exposed Children in Rural Bangladesh: Total Immunoglobulins and Vaccine-Specific Antibodies
Conclusions: Arsenic exposure increased tIgG and tIgE in plasma, and tended to decrease mumps-specific IgG in children at 9 years of age. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP318 Received: 09 April 2016 Revised: 09 October 2016 Accepted: 24 October 2016 Published: 14 June 2017 Address correspondence to R.
