The usability of testing skin reaction applying skin prick tests with Comirnaty (Pfizer, USA) vaccine in detecting the risk of developing post-vaccination immediate hypersensitivity response (anaphylaxis) after administration of this vaccine.

Introduction: COVID-19 vaccines became a relevant element of prevention during COVID-19 pandemic. It is worth highlighting the importance of severe allergic post-vaccination reactions.

Aim: To evaluate the usability of skin reaction tests using skin prick tests with Comirnaty (Pfizer, USA) vaccine in risk detection of the post-vaccine immediate hypersensitivity reaction (anaphylaxis) after administration of this vaccine [PvIHR(A)].

Protocol of safe vaccination against COVID-19 in patients with high risk of allergic reactions.

Background: Sars-CoV-2 infections are hazardous, especially to the elderly and patients with comorbidities. With no efficient treatment available, newly developed vaccines are the only way to change the course of the pandemic. However, reports of allergic reactions resulted in some patients and practicing physicians being concerned about the safety of vaccine administration, particularly in people with severe anaphylactic reactions to multiple or unknown factors in their medical history.

Atypical clinical presentation of Churg-Strauss syndrome with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis: case report.

The case of a 48-year-old man presented in this paper illustrates an atypical clinical course of Churg-Strauss syndrome with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with no signs of bronchial asthma.

Increased sensitization prevalence to common inhalant and food allergens in young adult Polish males.

Numerous epidemiological studies concluded recently have suggested that the prevalence of allergic diseases has increased, which mainly results from an increase in the prevalence of atopic diseases. The problem is even more difficult because the number of people sensitized, who are prone to fall ill, exceeds the number of people presently ill. The prevalence of sensitization to atopic allergens and its time dynamic is still unknown.

[Increased sensitization prevalence to common inhalant and food allergens in young Polish males].

Unlabelled: Numerous epidemiological studies concluded recently have suggested that the prevalence of allergic diseases has increased, which mainly results from an increase in the prevalence of atopic diseases. The prevalence of sensitization to atopic allergens and its time dynamicity is unknown nowadays.

The Aim Of The Study: has been to find the prevalence of atopic sensitization in the population of young Polish males and to compare these findings with those obtained 16 years before.

[Hypersensitivity to poppy seeds].

Unlabelled: Hypersensitivity to poppy seeds is rare and it may develop due to immune (allergy) and non-immune reactions of fulminant course. Two cases of hypersensitivity to poppy seeds are presented: in a 21-year-old woman and 32-year-old man in whom life-threatening symptoms and signs of anaphylaxis (SSA) developed after consumption of poppy seeds in various situations, e.g in the street after consumption of a roll with poppy seeds or a cake prepared on a moulding board on which poppy seeds were previously squeezed.
