Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how to better diagnose allergies to insect stings, especially bee and wasp stings, using different tests like skin tests and blood tests.
- They found that a test called the basophil activation test (BAT) is really good at identifying who is allergic, being very accurate compared to other tests.
- In their study with 43 patients, BAT was more effective in predicting severe reactions to bee stings than the skin prick test, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
Objectives: This study aims to uncover early detection markers through the immunological analysis of children diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) and coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed immunological data from thirty-three MIS-C patients and an equivalent number of patients under the age of 18 with a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19. These individuals were admitted to Ondokuz Mayis University between November 2020 and February 2021.
Human Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs) encompass a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, ranging from mild cases to severe, life-threatening types. Among these, Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRDs) constitute a subset of IEIs characterized by diverse clinical phenotypes, prominently featuring severe atopy, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, hyperinflammation, autoinflammation, and susceptibility to malignancies. According to the latest report from the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), PIRDs arise from mutations in various genes including LYST, RAB27A, AP3B1, AP3D1, PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, FAAP24, SLC7A7, RASGRP1, CD70, CTPS1, RLTPR, ITK, MAGT1, PRKCD, TNFRSF9, SH2DIA, XIAP, CD27 (TNFRSF7), FAS (TNFRSF6), FASLG (TNFSF6), CASP10, CASP8, FADD, LRBA, STAT3, AIRE, ITCH, ZAP70, TPP2, JAK1, PEPD, FOXP3, IL2RA, CTLA4, BACH2, IL2RB, DEF6, FERMT1, IL10, IL10RA, IL10RB, NFAT5, TGFB1, and RIPK1 genes.

The detailed immune responses are not explored widely. We investigated known and novel immune alterations in lymphocyte subpopulations and their association with clinical symptoms in a well-defined ICF cohort.
