Accurate quantification of five German cockroach (GCr) allergens in complex extracts using multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM MS)
Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceOur data demonstrate that the LC‐MRM MS method is valuable for absolute quantification of allergens in GCr extracts and likely has broader applicability to other complex allergen extracts. Definitive quantification provides a new standard for labeling of allergen extracts, which will inform patient care, enable personalized therapy, and enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy for environmental and food allergies.This article is protected by copyright.

Development and significance of the E-surveillance system for contact allergies in Slovenia
This paper describes the development and significance of online systems for the collection and analysis of medical data (patch test results) with a web application. Modern digital tools greatly aid in collecting, combining, and preserving the data in a way that is friendly, undemanding and time-efficient for the dermatologist. Creating a central database for the results of patch testing provides a better picture of contact sensitivity and characteristics of allergic contact dermatitis in Slovenia. An electronic database and connected network was started in Slovenia in 2010. Data from skin allergy units since 2000 has also ...

Current status of allergy prevalence in Germany
Abstract The lifetime prevalence of allergic diseases in adults in Germany [self-reported doctor diagnosed allergic diseases, Study on Adult Health in Germany (Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland, DEGS1, 2008–2011) of the Robert Koch Institute] is 8.6 % for asthma, 14.8 % for hay fever, 3.5 % for atopic dermatitis, 8.1 % for contact dermatitis, 4.7 % for food allergies, and 2.8 % for insect venom allergies.

Authorised allergen products for intracutaneous testing may no longer be available in Germany
Conclusions: European legislation and the associated increase in production and licensing costs have already lead to numerous suppliers withdrawing their marketing authorisation for diagnostic test allergens — marketing authorisations for 443 diagnostic allergens were voluntarily withdrawn by manufacturers in 2013 alone. If the announced restrictions on the allergen portfolio go ahead, considerable problems in the management of allergy patients in Germany due to the discontinuation of the intracutaneous test are likely to be encountered. Moreover, the fact that a diagnostic procedure that has been established ...

Allergies in Germany – prevalence and perception by the public
ConclusionsAllergic diseases are a common, often burdensome problem in the German population, but nevertheless the medical treatment of people affected is still insufficient. The proportion of patients receiving sublingual immune therapy as causal treatment is comparatively low. Active steps are needed to improve the utilization behavior of patients, e. g. to take advice of an allergy specialist.
