Reliability of allergy skin testing.
CONCLUSION: The use of a 6-mg/mL histamine control for some percutaneous skin test devices may result in more false-negative allergen responses because of the inability to detect the presence of antihistamines. PMID: 29273134 [PubMed - in process]

Changes of levels IL-4 and interferon-{gamma} during allergen specific immunotherapy pollen trees in children with respiratory allergy
We have studied interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon- (IFN) levels in sera in children with manifestations of respiratory allergy to tree pollens. Changes in cytokine levels were examined at baseline, during flowering on the background of the first course of allergen-specific immunotherapy (IT) and 6 months after flowering of the plants. Children were divided into 3 groups, received IT with different allergens: "Fostal" and "Staloral", and third group received water-salt extract. The control group included children who also had manifestations of hay fever caused by pollen from trees, who received pharmacotherapy as a combin...

Allergy skin testing: methodological issues on reliability and validity
Sir, I was interested to read the paper by Shtessel M and colleagues published in the Jan 2018 issue of Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol.1 Percutaneous allergen skin testing remains an established benchmark for diagnosing atopic disease. The reliability of skin testing depends greatly on the performance of allergen extracts used, methods used, and the presence of antihistamine medications. The authors aimed to determine the differential effect of cetirizine on 2 different concentrations of histamine control solution and 5 common allergens used for percutaneous skin testing.

Nasal Symptoms Reduction and Decreased Neutrophilia in Japanese Cedar Pollinosis With Prophylactic Treatment With a Combination of Montelukast, Fexofenadine, and Fluticasone Nasal Spray.
CONCLUSION: In PreSyP and PreAsP subjects, treatments with Mo-Fex-Flu were more effective than Cet-Flu to reduce nasal symptom scores. These effects were associated with reduction in the number of neutrophils and mast cells in nasal swabs. PMID: 30821167 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sad In The Spring? Allergy-Mood Link Is Real
(CNN) — You know spring has sprung when hundreds of people daily turn to Twitter to vent about their itchy eyes, dripping nose and uncontrollable sneezing and coughing. Seasonal allergies, which affect about 36 million Americans, aren’t just an annoyance; many doctors agree that there is a real connection between allergies and mood. “‘Cranky’ is really the best word for it,” said Katie Ingram, 30, of Alexandria, Virginia, a triathlete who has seasonal allergies. “I take a lot of medication for it, and that makes me sleepy. And I can’t do a lot of the things that I like to do ...

Why Does My Nose Run - And Other Common Allergy Questions
Allergies got you down? Wondering how to get relief? Namrata Shidhaye, MD, a family physician at Duke Primary Care Waverly Place, helps sort out the causes and cures for your annoying runny nose. The older I get, the more my nose runs. Can you develop seasonal allergies as an adult that you didn’t have as a child?
Yes, adults can develop environmental allergies at any age. Asthma can develop during adulthood as well. A runny nose isn’t always a sign of allergies, though. Older individuals may experience runny nose due to age-related physical changes—some people, as they age, develop overactive tear ducts and nasal ...

A case of insulin allergy successfully managed using multihexamer‐forming insulin degludec combined with liraglutide
ConclusionOur patient was allergic to all insulin formulations except insulin degludec. Her allergic reactions completely disappeared after switching to insulin degludec. The crystallized structure of this insulin might mask its skin allergen antigenicity. Furthermore, her postprandial hyperglycaemia was successfully controlled with liraglutide. We propose multihexamer‐forming ultra‐long‐acting insulin plus glucagon‐like peptide‐1 analogues as a therapeutic option for patients with insulin allergy.This article is protected by copyright.

Update on Antihistamine Treatment for Chronic Urticaria in Children
Opinion statement Urticaria is a heterogeneous group of diseases, which may have different causes and mechanisms but share similar clinical features. It is clinically defined by the presence of wheals and/or angioedema. The diagnosis of urticaria is based on the evaluation of clinical manifestations. Urticaria is conventionally classified as acute or chronic. Chronic urticaria (CU) has been defined as daily or nearly daily occurrence of wheals and/or angioedema lasting longer than 6 weeks. Very little is known of the epidemiology of urticaria in infants and children, and still less is known of the prevalence of ...
