Article Synopsis
- Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a complex condition, and this study explored the connection between serum zonulin levels, a marker for "leaky gut," and CSU among patients.
- The study included 97 CSU patients and 87 healthy controls, revealing that CSU patients had significantly lower zonulin levels than the controls (median of 2.93 ng/ml versus 3.92 ng/ml).
- Although a positive correlation was found between serum zonulin and C-reactive protein, no significant relationship was established between zonulin levels and disease activity or immunoglobulin E levels, suggesting factors like diet and medication could impact zonulin levels in CSU patients.
Work related asthma (WRA) refers to asthma induced by exposure to sensitizing agents and/or irritants in the workplace leaving health and economic consequences. Early diagnosis can improve the prognosis of WRA permitting sometimes full recovery. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of WRA among Egyptian adult agriculture workers.

- Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common skin condition affecting many people, with around 90% of cases being idiopathic, and nearly half thought to involve autoimmune mechanisms.
- The study examined the presence of specific T regulatory cells (CD4+CD25highFOXP3+) in CSU patients and their link to autologous serum skin tests (ASST).
- Results showed that CSU patients had lower levels of these T regulatory cells compared to healthy individuals, supporting the idea that CSU is related to immune system issues and suggesting potential avenues for new treatments.
Recently, many researchers are interested in studying asthma COPD overlap (ACO) group features. Sensitization to Aspergillus has been linked to increased severity of asthma; however, limited data is available about fungal sensitization in ACO group. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of Aspergillus fumigatus (A.
