Background: House dust mite (HDM) allergy is a prevalent global health concern, with varying sensitization profiles observed across populations. We aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of molecular allergen sensitization patterns in the Lithuanian population, with a focus on Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p), and investigate patterns of concomitant reactivity among different allergens to enhance the accuracy of HDM allergy diagnostics.
Methods: A comprehensive analysis of 1520 patient test results in Lithuania from 2020 to 2022 was performed.
Background: Over the last few decades, there was observed an increase of asthma and allergic rhinitis cases caused by allergy to pets.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze molecular sensitization patterns to dog and cat allergens in Lithuanian children who were experiencing allergy-like symptoms.
Materials And Methods: A total of 574 children (0-18 years) were tested for allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) levels with ALEX (ALEX, Allergy Explorer Test System).
Introduction: There are no in-depth studies describing the peanut sensitization molecular patterns in Lithuanian children.
Aim: To investigate the age-related patterns of molecular peanut sensitization profiles in Lithuanian children with suspected allergic symptoms.
Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of peanut sensitization profiles in 576 Lithuanian children with possible allergic symptoms.
Objectives: To study the molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Lithuanian hospitals with an emphasis on the characterization of plasmids and antibiotic-resistance genes and their relationship with European clones (ECs) I and II.
Methods: PFGE, PCR analysis of ECs and resistance genes, plasmid replicon typing, DNA transformation and sequencing were employed to characterize A. baumannii.
