Article Synopsis
- Food allergies affect 2 to 10% of the global population, and this study aimed to assess skin reactivity to food allergens across different age groups.
- A total of 191 patients, mostly females with an average age of 22.5 years, underwent skin prick tests, revealing 19.3% had positive reactivity to at least one food allergen.
- The most common reactions were seen in adults (59.5%), with soybeans and peaches being the most identified allergens, and the overall patterns aligned with existing national and Latin American data.
Background: Allergic diseases diagnosis must be based on adequate allergological anamnesis and an immunological sensitization test; the most sensitive and specific is the skin prick test.
Objective: To determine the frequency of skin reactivity to aeroallergens, by age groups, in patients of the Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology of the Hospital Universitario de Puebla, in Mexico.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted that included patients aged 2 to 64 years with symptoms suggestive of allergic disease, in which skin prick tests with aeroallergens were performed; the diagnostic criteria were those of international guidelines.
Background: For the etiological diagnosis of allergic respiratory diseases skin tests or specific serum IgE determination are used.
Objective: To determine the correlation between the extent of reactivity to cutaneous prick tests and the levels of pollen specific serum IgE in patients with respiratory allergy.
Patients And Methods: A prolective, descriptive and transversal study was done with patients of both genders, aged 2 to 60 years, who attended for the first time at the service of Allergy and Clinical Immunology of University Hospital of Puebla, Mexico, with presumptive diagnosis of respiratory allergy.

Background: There are documented molecular homologies between mites from the same group, but intergroup characteristics are not. Although mites share the same taxonomic order, there are species antigenically distinct. At the present we dont know clearly the differences in cutaneous reactivity among several house dust mites species.

- A study investigated the prevalence of skin reactivity to mouse antigen in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis at a hospital in Puebla.
- The research involved 110 first-time patients, revealing an overall low prevalence of 1.8% for mouse allergen sensitization, with a higher rate of 2.4% among those with allergic rhinitis.
- The findings suggest that while overall sensitivity is low, those with severe exposure to mice should consider skin testing for related allergens.
Background: Chronic urticaria may be continuous or recurrent according to its form of appearance. Within the diseases associated to chronic urticaria there are mycosis, parasitism and bacterial infections where Helicobacter pylori stands out. This has been related to the allergic diseases promoting a Th2 response.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, curved, microaerophilic, oxidase, catalase and urease positive bacillus. It lives in the gastric mucosa, and is the main etiological agent of peptic ulcer, and of atrophic and multifocal gastritis. It is associated with extraintestinal, vascular, autoimmune and cutaneous diseases.

The quality of life is the perception of the patient of the functional effects of his illness and its therapeutics consequences.
Objective: To determine the modification of index the quality of life on the patients with allergic rhinitis attended at the external consultation of the service of allergy and clinical immunology of the Hospital Universitario de Puebla when they were submitted to integral allergologic treatment.
Background: Patient's perception about the effect of disease's manifestations on daily activities is called health-related quality of life, and it is used to evaluate the individual response to treatment. At present, there are some questionnaires designed to evaluate it.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of integral treatment dosage on quality of life in asthmatic adults.
Background: The quality of life is the perception of a patient about functional effects of his illness and therapy. Recently, appropriate instruments were devised to evaluate the health related with the quality of life, as the standardized and validated questionnaires for rhino-conjunctivitis.
Objective: To determine the impact of integral allergological treatment upon the quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis that were attended as outpatients at the Service of Allergy and Clinical Immunology of Hospital Universitario de Puebla.
