[Measles vaccination for children with allergic diseases].

To predict the side effects of vaccination, some skin tests are performed for patients with allergic diseases, though at present time there is no standard method. We have performed skin tests of measles vaccine by prick test with undiluted vaccine, 1 : 10 dilution, and/or intradermal test with 1 : 100 dilution. 75 cases of children with allergic diseases were assessed with more than two types of these skin tests.

Frequency of food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis in Japanese junior-high-school students.

Background: Food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FEIAn) is classified among the physical allergies. The pathophysiology of FEIAn remains unknown, as does the frequency of FEIAn in the general population.

Objective: We sought to study the epidemiology of FEIAn, especially its frequency in junior-high-school students in Yokohama, Japan.

The necessity for dual food intake to provoke food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FEIAn): a case report of FEIAn with simultaneous intake of wheat and umeboshi.

Background: Food-dependent exercised-induced anaphylaxis (FEIAn) is classified among the physical allergies. Many different food allergens have been reported, but the pathophysiology of FEIAn remains unknown. Furthermore, provocation tests with a suspected food do not always succeed in patients with FEIAn.
