Background: Component resolved diagnosis, recently redefined as precision allergy medicine diagnosis - PAMD@, may help understanding allergic cross-reactivity patterns among polysensitized patients and their clinical implication.
Objective: We aimed to investigate similarities among allergens by empirically determining the occurrence of co-sensitization patterns and to relate them to clinical features, in particular to asthma.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study in 1057 participants suspected to have allergic sensitization was performed in Vienna.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how acute stress impacts allergic reactions, specifically in allergic rhinitis (AR) patients, using skin prick testing (SPT) as a measurement tool.
- It involved 40 participants (21 with AR and 19 healthy), who underwent SPT before and after a stress test to analyze changes in allergy response and related hormones.
- Results showed no general change in SPT outcomes, but individuals displayed significant variations in response, suggesting stress could affect allergy sensitivity, and highlighting the role of higher baseline noradrenaline and oxytocin in allergic patients.
