Article Synopsis
- Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a rare condition that can be challenging to diagnose, and this report presents the first known case of EIA triggered specifically by leek consumption.
- An 18-year-old woman experienced severe allergic symptoms after exercising, leading to a series of tests that ultimately confirmed her sensitivity to leeks during physical exertion despite some tests showing no reaction.
- The case highlights the need for thorough allergy assessments and interviews since leek allergies are very uncommon, emphasizing that uncommon allergens can play a role in EIA.
Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fever, erythema, and neutrophilic pustules over large areas of the skin. GPP does not respond well to pharmacologic intervention.
Objective: We sought to assess efficacy of selectively depleting the myeloid lineage leukocytes in patients with GPP.
Background: Systemic administration of corticosteroid, plasmapheresis and high-dose immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) are the main treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
Objective: To evaluate the effects of the treatments of SJS and TEN.
Methods: Twenty-seven cases of SJS and 19 cases of TEN treated in our hospitals from 2000 to 2007 were analyzed.
