Alpha-gal anaphylaxis: the first case report in Italy.
We report the case of a 55-year-old man who went into anaphylactic shock six hours after eating a meal containing meat. He reported having had several tick bites in months before the reaction. The serum specific IgE showed strong positivity to alpha-gal. This is clearly alpha-gal anaphylaxis with delayed onset after meat ingestion caused by tick bite, confirmed by alpha-gal IgE positivity.

IL-31 and IL-33 circulating levels in allergic contact dermatitis.
Authors: Guarneri F, Minciullo PL, Mannucci C, Calapai F, Saitta S, Cannavò SP, Gangemi S
Abstract
Enhanced IL-31 expression in skin biopsies is present in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). IL-33 expression is induced in keratinocytes and in skin of ACD patients. This overexpression is present in both allergic and irritant conditions. The aim of this work was to test the systemic involvement of IL-31 and IL-33 in ACD. IL-31 levels were significantly higher in patients than in controls. IL-33 serum levels, on the contrary, were similar in patients and controls. This work shows a possible systemic involvement of IL...

Different allergenicity of pollen extracts of three Mediterranean cypress species accounted for cytological observations.
CONCLUSION: The higher protein content found in C. arizonica pollen grains extract may be due to higher enzyme activity leading to the movement of β-glucans and pectins from the intine to the partially developed pollen cell wall during hydration. This could explain the higher potential allergenicity of C.arizonica in respect to C. macrocarpa and C. sempervirens.

Pre-co-seasonal Allergen Immunotherapy in Parietaria allergic patients.
CONCLUSION: This preliminary study demonstrates that Parietaria pollen season in Genoa lasted about six months and a single pre-co-seasonal SLIT Parietaria course could be sufficient to reduce symptom severity and medication use.

Work-related respiratory symptoms in Champagne vineyard workers.
CONCLUSION: WRS are frequent in Champagne WV and are associated with a sensitization to gramineae and with activities performed close to vine in late spring.

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis preceding allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
Authors: Lee W, Teo FS, Santosa A, Teng GG
Abstract
A 61-year-old Chinese man with long-standing, stable Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) and asthma, presented with acute hypoxemia and declining obstructive pulmonary function. Elevated serum IgE levels, positive Aspergillus fumigatus specific IgE and CT findings of central bronchiectasis with small airway mucoid impaction confirmed new development of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). The maintenance therapy for EGPA, azathioprine, was discontinued. Prednisolone 0.5mg/kg/day and Itraconazole improved his symptoms and IgE levels. To ...

An unusual case of delayed-type hypersensitivity to ceftriaxone and meropenem.
We describe a case of a 13-year-old male, admitted in Neurosurgery with a severe extradural empyema complicating frontal sinusitis, submitted to an emergent bifrontal craniotomy. A generalized maculopapular exanthema, fever and malaise, appeared by the 7th day of meningeal doses of ceftriaxone, clindamycin and vancomycin. Those were replaced by meropenem, with posterior worsening of the reaction and mucosal involvement. A new scheme with amikacin, metronidazole and linezolid was done with improvement. Skin prick, intradermal and patch tests to penicillins, ceftriaxone and meropenem were negative. Lymphocyte transformation ...

Allergenicity of Artemisia contained in bee pollen is proportional to its mass.
Authors: Nonotte-Varly C
Abstract
Bee product mugwort is identified as being at the origin of allergic accidents but the biological potency of Artemisia contained in bee pollen is not well known. In this experiment, Artemisia mass was identified in bee pollen mass and after having calculated the proportion of Artemisia using the bee pollen melissopalynology spectrum. Skin reactivity to Artemisia was assessed by measuring wheal diameters (W) from skin prick tests using three serial dilutions of bee pollen on 11 allergic patients to Artemisia, in order to calculate the relationship between Artemisia mass (Massartemis...

Conctact dermatitis: some important topics.
Authors: Pigatto PD
Abstract
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction. The gold standard for diagnosis is patch testing. The prevalence of positive patch tests in referred patients with suspected ACD ranges from 27 to 95.6 %. The relationship between ACD and atopic dermatitis (AD) is complicated with conflicting reports of prevalence in the literature; however, in a patient with dermatitis not responding to traditional therapies, or with new areas of involvement, ACD should be considered as part of the work-up.

Challenge-proven immediate type multiple local anesthetic hypersensitivity in a child.
Authors: Ertoy Karagol I, Yilmaz O, Bakirtas A
Abstract
Adverse reactions to local anesthetics (LA) are commonly reported in patients undergoing dental procedures and other minor surgical procedures. Most of these reactions, however, originate from psychosomatic, vasovagal or toxic conditions and are not immune-mediated. True immune-mediated reactions are considered extremely rare and are estimated to account for less than 1% of all adverse reactions to LA. On the other hand, almost all of the immune-mediated LA reactions that have been reported are related to adult patients. Here, however, we will present a pediat...

Aeroallergens, atopy and allergic rhinitis in the Middle East.
Authors: Goronfolah L
Abstract
The literature on the nature and prevalence of indoor and/or outdoor aeroallergens, atopy and symptoms of rhinitis and asthma in the Middle East region (defined here as Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - KSA, Syria, United Arab Emirates and Yemen) was reviewed. Although documentation was poor in all countries other than Iran and the KSA, a wide range of "global" and "local" aeroallergens (grass, weed and tree pollens, fungal spores, insect allergens, dander, and house dust mites) has been observed across the r...

Can the presence of cat/dog at home be considered the only criterion of exposure to cat/dog allergens? A likely underestimated bias in clinical practice and in large epidemiological studies.
Authors: Liccardi G, Salzillo A, Calzetta L, Piccolo A, Menna G, Rogliani P
Abstract
An important aspect of allergic sensitization to furry animals is the association of dog and cat exposure in early childhood with the incidence of respective allergies later in life. This topic is very controversial, because some authors have found a "facilitating" effect, while others have noticed a "protective" or even no significant effect in individuals living in urban areas. It is likely that some biases could be responsible of these contradictory findings. Cat/dog ownership or their presence in indoor environments are conside...
