Specialist Perception of Severe Asthma in Korea: A Questionnaire Survey
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res. 2021 May;13(3):507-514. doi: 10.4168/aair.2021.13.3.507.ABSTRACTThe Working Group on Severe Asthma of the Korean Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology recently published an expert opinion paper on the management of severe asthma in Korea. When developing a consensus, the working group encountered several diagnostic and treatment issues and decided to perform a questionnaire survey of Korean specialists with regard to severe asthma. An e-mail with a uniform resource locator link to the questionnaire was sent to 121 asthma specialists, of whom 44.6% responded. The most commonly accepted defin...

Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Patients with Primary Immunodeficiency
Conclusion: Chronic rhinosinusitis is more common in patients with primary immunodeficiencies than in the normal population. For effective treatment, it is necessary to identify the factors that cause chronic rhinosinusitis. Further studies involving larger patient populations are needed to explain the mechanisms of chronic rhinosinusitis.Int Arch Allergy Immunol

Nasal lavage levels of granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor and chronic nasal hypereosinophilia
ConclusionOur data confirm that GM‐CSF is more frequently detectable in nasal lavages of patients affected by chronic sinonasal eosinophilic inflammation than in controls. Statistical analyses revealed a significant weakly‐moderate correlation between GM‐CSF levels in nasal lavage of all patients and percentage of eosinophil infiltration of nasal mucosa.

Fatal Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis from Exposure to Fusarium vasinfectum in a Home Environment: A Case Report
Conclusion: This is the first reported case of fatal HP related to an acute exacerbation of a chronic form of HP following continuous and intense exposure to F. vasinfectum. Although uncommon, a high index of suspicion for HP is necessary in patients with progressive respiratory symptoms and known environmental antigen exposure. With early detection and prompt removal of the causative antigen, HP prognosis is generally favorable, but can progress to fatal disease with continued exposure.Int Arch Allergy Immunol 2015;166:150-153

The impact of endoscopic sinus surgery on total direct healthcare costs among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionAmong patients who underwent ESS for CRS, total direct healthcare costs, antibiotic usage, and number of imaging studies decreased after surgery, and remained below preoperative levels throughout all 3 years of follow‐up. Oral corticosteroid usage remained stable.

Progression of Common Variable Immunodeficiency Interstitial Lung Disease Accompanies Distinct Pulmonary and Laboratory Findings
Conclusion Interstitial lung disease resulted in physiological worsening in many, but not all subjects, and was associated with suboptimal immunoglobulin G replacement. Those with worsening pulmonary function tests, elevated IgM, and severe thrombocytopenic episodes appear to be at highest risk for progressive disease. Such patients may benefit from immunomodulatory treatment.

He was diagnosed as having chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and a pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) was performed. However, exertional dyspnea remained because of residual pulmonary hypertension; therefore, the patient was re-admitted to our hospital 1 year after PEA. We perfo...

The asthma–COPD overlap syndrome: how is it defined and what are its clinical implications?
Maarten van den Berge,1,2 René Aalbers,31Department of Pulmonary Diseases, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, 2GRIAC Research Institute, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, 3Department of Pulmonary Diseases, Martini Hospital, Groningen, the Netherlands Abstract: It is increasingly recognized that both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are heterogeneous diseases with a large inter-individual variability with respect to their clinical expression, disease progression, and responsiveness to the available treatments. The introduction of asthma&nda...
