Article Synopsis
- Allergic diseases are immunological disorders triggered by allergens, leading to type 2 immunity and IgE responses, with a rising prevalence similar to cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
- CVD often stems from atherosclerosis, characterized by endothelial dysfunction and Th1 inflammation, raising questions about the relationship between allergic conditions and heart health.
- The review explores the phases of allergic pathology, immunological mechanisms of atherosclerosis, and the complex clinical connections between allergic diseases (like asthma and food allergies) and CVD, including the role of various immune cells and mediators in these conditions.
Background: It is unknown which are the most suitable maintenance pattern and egg consumption to maintain the desensitization state after ending the oral immunotherapy (OIT). This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial compared two OIT maintenance patterns with pasteurized egg white (PEW), evaluating the egg consumption effect on the desensitization state after ending the OIT.
Methods: One hundred and one children with confirmed egg allergy were randomized: 25 to an egg-free diet (CG) and 76 to an OIT year with PEW and two maintenance patterns, 38 patients to daily 3.
Background: Studies are required before incorporating egg oral immunotherapy (OIT) into clinical practice. The Spanish Society of Pediatric Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology (SEICAP) conducted a multicenter, randomized controlled study assessing the effectiveness and safety of the OIT using pasteurized egg white (PEW) in egg-allergic children.
Methods: One hundred and one egg-allergic children (6-9 years) were randomized for 1 year: 25 to an egg-free-diet (CG) and 76 to OIT (target dose 3.
Background: In areas of high exposure to grass pollen, allergic patients are frequently sensitized to profilin, and some experience severe profilin-mediated food-induced reactions. This specific population of patients is ideal to study the relationship between respiratory and food allergies.
Objective: We sought to determine the role of oral mucosal epithelial barrier integrity in profilin-mediated allergic reactions.
Background: Oral desensitization in children allergic to cow's milk proteins is not risk free. The analysis of factors that may influence the outcome is of utmost importance.
Objective: To analyze the efficacy and safety of the oral desensitization according to specific IgE (sIgE) level and adverse events during the maintenance phase.
