Article Synopsis
- Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated condition affecting the nasal mucosa, with this study specifically assessing its impact on the quality of life (QoL) in children aged 10-15, using validated questionnaires.
- The study included 102 participants, mainly boys, from Zaragoza and Coruña, revealing higher AR prevalence in Zaragoza and significant comorbidities in Coruña, with dust mites predominantly affecting QoL in both locations.
- Findings showed that 63% of children reported good QoL, and mask usage notably improved symptoms in Zaragoza, with those sensitized to dust mites experiencing worse QoL outcomes compared to those sensitized to pollen.
Background: Delayed pressure urticaria (DPU) is a rare form of chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) when it manifests alone. Treatment of DPU is disappointing owing to the lack of response to antihistamines, even when up-dosing. In addition, the absence of randomized clinical trials and the low number of patients included in the studies mean that there is little scientific evidence for the validity of omalizumab in DPU.

Background/objective: The objective of this study was to describe the molecular sensitization profile of mite allergy in an area with a high environmental exposure of house dust mites (HDM) and storage mites.
Methods: Skin prick tests were performed with standardized extracts (DIATER, Madrid, Spain). A specific commercial molecular panel (MADx) for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dpt), Dermatophagoides farinae (Dfar), Lepidoglyphus destructor (Ldt), Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Tput), and Blomia tropicalis (Blot) was correlated with clinical parameters in Galician (northwestern of Spain) HDM allergic patients.
The increasingly extensive use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors will probably increase the number of cases of cutaneous reactions due to these drugs. This report describes a case of generalized exanthema due to paroxetine. Positive results to patch tests indicated delayed hypersensitivity.
