Allergy to Mammalian Meat Linked to Alpha-Gal Syndrome Potentially After Tick Bite in the Amazon: A Case Series
This study confirms the presence of this new entity in French Guiana and is the largest reported in Latin America. Our results do not clearly allow us to state that tick bites are the cause of this allergy, but all patients reported being exposed regularly to these arthropods.PMID:34544046 | DOI:10.4269/ajtmh.20-1630

Inpatient allergy testing in patients with infective endocarditis: An un-met need?
Infective endocarditis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, is best managed by multi-disciplinary teams, and typically requires a prolonged course of antimicrobial therapy.1 Moreover, evidence-based guidelines recommend penicillins as first line agents to treat the majority of organisms.2–4 Alternative regimens for patients with penicillin allergy are typically more toxic, more expensive and frequently less effective than penicillin-based therapy.5 As around 10% of inpatients report a penicillin allergy,6 we think there may be role for early inpatient allergy testing in this infection.

The impact of antimicrobial allergy labels on antimicrobial usage in cancer patients
Conclusions
Antimicrobial usage, including the use of restricted antibiotics, is higher in patients with cancer. Antibiotic de-labelling strategies in cancer patients must be evaluated to aid antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.

Natural rubber latex allergy
was identified as an increasingly significant health care problem in the late 1980s. Though the incidence of latex allergy has decreased in the United States over the last several years, 150,000 to 1 million healthcare workers and over 15 million people worldwide still suffer from latex allergy.1–3

NIAID scientists link cases of unexplained anaphylaxis to red meat allergy
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) While rare, some people experience recurrent episodes of anaphylaxis -- a life-threatening allergic reaction -- for which the triggers are never identified. Recently, researchers at NIAID found that some patients' seemingly inexplicable anaphylaxis was actually caused by an uncommon allergy to a molecule found naturally in red meat. They note that the allergy, which is linked to a history of a specific type of tick bite, may be difficult for patients and health care teams to identify.

The role of food allergy as a provoking factor of migraine
CONCLUSION: We show for the first time the relationship between delayed-type food allergy and redistribution in the microbiome of the oropharynx of patients with migraine and once again confirm the role of delayed-type food allergy as a clinically significant factor influencing the course of migraine (its intensity and chronicity).PMID:37655411 | DOI:10.17116/jnevro202312308156

Interleukin-10 gene polymorphism (-1082G/A) and allergy to efavirenz in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between polymorphism in the interleukin-10 gene promoter at position -1082 in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients who had presented allergic reaction due to efavirenz. The study included 63 patients treated at the Hospital São José de Doenças Infecciosas, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Twenty-one patients who had presented allergic reaction to efavirenz were compared to 42 patients with no allergic reaction following exposure to this drug. Blood samples were collected for DNA extraction and submitted to the restriction fragment leng...

Clinical Picture Acute focal bacterial nephritis in an occupational allergy
A 50-year-old male professional noodle maker with an allergy to soba (buckwheat noodles) was admitted to the emergency room with high fever. 2 months earlier he had a mild stiff shoulder for a week. At the time of admission, the patient had a temperature of 38·8°C and oliguria. Laboratory findings showed a white-blood-cell count of 18 800 per μL (normal value 4400–11 000 per μL), C-reactive protein 16·3 mg/dL (<0·3 mg/dL), procalcitonin 2·44 μg/L (<0·1 μg/L), creatinine 147·5 μmol/L (60–110 μmol/L), plasma glucose 56·4 mmol/L (5·6 mmol/L), HbA1c 14·7% (<5·7 %), and 100 urinary leucocytes c...

Genital contact allergy: A diagnosis missed
Yogesh S Marfatia, Dimpal Patel, Devi S Menon, Smriti NaswaIndian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS 2016 37(1):1-6Genital allergy should be considered as a possible diagnosis in all patients with genital soreness or irritation for which no infection or dermatosis can be identified and in whom symptoms remain unchanged or worsen with treatment. It is an underreported and underdiagnosed condition as patients may not complain about symptoms in this area. Moreover, diagnosis and therapy may not often be conducted by a dermatologist or allergologist. Therefore, many cases of allergic diseases in the genital area remain undetected.
