Background: Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic allergic reaction that can be life-threatening, timely diagnosis and treatment is required in these patients, one of the most frequent triggers is pharmacological.
Objective: To report the case of a patient who presented anaphylaxis due to eye drops.
Case Report: A 7-year-old male with a history of rhinitis and asthma with good control.
Background: Recent data about clinical features, triggers and management of anaphylaxis in Latin America is lacking.
Objective: To provide updated and extended data on anaphylaxis in this region.
Method: An online questionnaire was used, with 67 allergy units involved from 12 Latin-American countries and Spain.
Objectives: In asthmatic patients, studies suggest that alexithymia leads to negative consequences and emotions that can affect physical, psychological, and social aspects of life. We designed this study to determine the frequency of alexithymia in Latin American patients with asthma, as well as to understand how this personality trait and each of its components interact with asthma severity and demographic variables, and their implications on treatment adherence and disease control under such setting.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study, involving 265 Latin American patients with asthma.
Background: House dust mites are important airborne allergens worldwide, particularly in the tropical environment.
Objective: To assess sensitization of allergic patients to different mite species in the Cuban city of Camaguey; as well as to compare standardized allergen extracts from different sources by skin prick tests.
Patients And Method: Skin prick tests were performed in 60 patients with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis and in 60 non-allergic volunteers, ranging from 2 to 76 years old.
