[Reproducibilidad clínica de reacciones de hipersensibilidad a fármacos en pruebas de exposición controlada].

Objective: To assess the reproducibility of symptoms in drug challenge tests.

Methods: The study included patients with positive cutaneous or challenge test throughout 2019. For each patient, clinical suspicion according to Karch-Lasagna algorithm was registered.

Impact of environmental factors on the epidemiology of eosinophilic esophagitis in southwestern Europe (2007-2020).

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease characterized by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and at least 15 eosinophils/hpf in the esophagus. Other systemic and local causes of esophageal eosinophilia should be excluded.

Objectives: The study objectives were to examine the annual epidemiology of EoE for 14 consecutive years, investigate whether there is a relationship between the count of aeroallergens and the incidence of EoE for 12 years, evaluate whether there are family ties between the patients with EoE, and determine whether there are cases of EoE that are triggered or exacerbated by pollens.

Would the choice of multiplex platform impact the management of the allergic patient? A first approach focusing on LTPs.

Background: In the Mediterranean area, patients with LTP syndrome who are sensitized to multiple allergens are often tested for sIgE using multiplex platforms. The results obtained from different commercial platforms are not interchangeable, so it is important to compare and validate the platform selected for use. The objective of this study is to compare and validate the performance of the ImmunoCAP ISAC E112i and the macroarray ALEX2 in our daily practice.

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases with esophageal involvement: Analysis of 212 patients.

Background: Primary eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGID) are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract with unknown etiology. Features, utility, and evolution are still unknown in screening for EGID in adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, comorbidities, and evolution of EGID in adults diagnosed with EoE and investigate differences between both groups.

Clinical validation of the basophil activation test in immediate hypersensitivity reactions to gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCAs) are safe compounds globally used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, in last years it has been detected an increase of immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHRs) to them. Diagnosis of IHRs to GBCAs is based on clinical symptoms, skin tests (STs) and drug provocation test (DPT).

Combined LTP Sublingual and Oral Immunotherapy in LTP Syndrome: Efficacy and Safety.

Introduction: SLIT for the treatment of plant food allergies has been demonstrated to be safe but less effective than OIT, but the latter is associated with more adverse reactions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new protocol starting with SLIT-peach followed by OIT with commercial peach juice in patients with LTP syndrome.

Methods: This was a prospective, noncontrolled, open study on patients with LTP syndrome who are not sensitized to storage proteins.
