Article Synopsis
- - Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare condition that leads to dilated blood vessels and has been linked to a higher prevalence of infections and allergies in affected individuals.
- - In a study, 430 patients with HHT completed a survey, revealing that they experienced significantly more allergies, particularly type I allergies, along with a higher incidence of infections like sinusitis and pulmonary infections, compared to their non-affected counterparts.
- - The findings highlight the need for increased awareness and recommendations for patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) to take prophylactic antibiotics, as many do not do so despite their higher risk of complications.
