MicroRNA-155 is a potential predictive tool for atopic dermatitis severity in children: A preliminary study.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory dermatological disorders in childhood. Assessment of AD severity is the initial step in designing the proper therapeutic plan. Moreover, it is imperative for evaluation of disease improvement during and following therapy.

Clinical utility of haematological inflammatory biomarkers in predicting 30-day mortality in hospitalised adult patients with COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a multisystem disease affecting respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, immunological and haematological systems. The most important indices that have been studied are platelet (PLT) indices in addition to the PLT count and red blood cell distribution width (RDW). This retrospective study included 95 patients with COVID-19 and was conducted at the Hospital Isolation, Scientific and Medical Research Centre and Clinical Pathology Department at Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt over 6 months from March to August 2021.

Sero-prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among healthcare workers: A multicenter study from Egypt.

Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at a high risk for disease exposure. Given the limited availability of nucleic acid testing by PCR in low resource settings, serological assays can provide useful data on the proportion of HCWs who have recently or previously been infected. Therefore, in this study, we conducted an immunologic study to determine the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in two university hospitals in Egypt.

Dyslipidemia among allergic rhinitis patients: Frequency and risk factors.

Background: Although cumulative data strongly suggest an association between dyslipidemia and allergic disorders, especially asthma, evidence regarding allergic rhinitis (AR) is lacking. We aimed to assess frequency and associated risk factors of dyslipidemia among patients with AR.

Methods: The current study is a cross-sectional study that recruited 150 AR patients by systematic randomization.

Role of Atorvastatin in Treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Patients: A Controlled Clinical Trial.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a popular disease, affects patients' life. Its etiologic agents are not well known so; treatment of the patients is difficult. CD203c is a marker that is only present on basophils.

Community acquired pneumonia among adult patients at an Egyptian university hospital: bacterial etiology, susceptibility profile and evaluation of the response to initial empiric antibiotic therapy.

Background: Effective empirical antibiotic therapy for community acquired pneumonia (CAP), based on frequently updated data about the pattern of bacterial distribution and their antimicrobial susceptibilities, is mandatory.

Aim: To identify the bacterial etiology of CAP in adults and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns and to evaluate the response to initial empirical antibiotic therapy in an Egyptian university hospital.

Settings And Design: A cross-sectional hospital-based study.

Prevalence of and Genes and Their Association with Gastrointestinal Diseases.

infection causes peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric carcinoma. It has several virulence factors such as cytotoxin-associated gene A() and the induced by contact with epithelium antigen (). We aimed to explore the relationship between and of and gastrointestinal diseases.
