Mashup Score: 0COVID-19 and Its Impact on Common Diseases in the Allergy Clinics - 7 month(s) ago
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has various effects on asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and urticaria and may change the course of the disease depending on the severity of the infection and control status of the disease. Conversely, these diseases may also impact the course of COVID-19. Patients with chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis may have COVID-19–induced disease exacerbations and biological treatments reduce the risk of exacerbations.

Mashup Score: 0History and Utility of Specific IgE Cutoff Levels: What is the Relevance for Allergy Diagnosis? - 7 month(s) ago
Allergy is defined clinically, by symptoms on allergen exposure. A patient is considered sensitized when allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) antibody can be detected in serum or plasma or a skin test result is positive, even if no clinical reaction has been experienced. Sensitization should be regarded as a requisite and risk factor for allergy but is not synonymous with an allergy diagnosis. To provide a correct allergy diagnosis, test results regarding allergen-sIgE must always be considered in view of the patient’s case history and clinical observations.

Mashup Score: 0Promises and Remaining Challenges for Further Integration of Basophil Activation Test in Allergy-Related Research and Clinical Practice - 7 month(s) ago
More than 20 years after having been initially proposed, the relevance and usefulness of basophil activation test (BAT) for the field of allergy research and testing were demonstrated on many occasions. Leveraging the fully open format of a flexible, whole blood–based functional assay, BAT has been shown to be equally important for fundamental research, clinical research, and diagnosis. Regardless of whether the focus of a study is on the characterization of the allergenic moiety, on the patient side, or on the study of the fundamental processes involved in the allergic disease or its treatment, BAT enables the gathering of very important insights.

Mashup Score: 2Epitope-Based IgE Assays and Their Role in Providing Diagnosis and Prognosis of Food Allergy - 7 month(s) ago
With advances in molecular and computational science, epitope-specific IgE antibody profiling has been developed and recently brought into clinical practice. Epitope-based testing detects IgE antibodies that directly bind to antigenic sites of an allergen, providing increased resolution specificity and fewer false-positive results for diagnosing food allergy. Epitope-binding profiles may also serve as prognostic markers of food allergy and help predict quantities of allergen that would provoke a reaction (ie, eliciting dose, possible severity of a reaction after allergen ingestion, and outcomes of treatment options such as oral immunotherapy [OIT]).

Allergies bring to mind sneezing, runny nose or watery eyes. While these are symptoms of some allergies, it’s important to understand a reaction is a result of a chain reaction that begins in your genes and is expressed by your immune system. #allergy https://t.co/RuWaA7Gbts https://t.co/yn9sAuaVP6
