In this study, we investigated whether IFN-γ has a role in contrast-medium-induced adverse reactions. Iopromide, a nonionic iodinated contrast agent, slightly induced mast cell proliferation and significantly increased the expression of IL-4 and MCP-1 at low doses. The pretreatment of cells with IFN-γ dramatically increased the expression of iopromide-induced IL-4 and MCP-1.

Actually, few data on IgG4 responses to foods in adults are available in the literature. In this study we evaluated the clinical utility of specific IgG4 dosing against food in adult patients with suspected food allergy/intolerance.

Toxocara canis is an intestinal nematode affecting dogs and cats that causes human infestations by ingestion of embryonated eggs excreted in dogs' faeces. Humans are transport hosts, in whom the larvae do not develop to adult worms, but may migrate to various tissues and organs, and survive for several years, giving rise to several clinical symptoms, which include allergy-like presentations. We report three cases presenting as dermatitis, rhinitis, asthma, and conjunctivitis which were diagnosed and unsuccessfully treated as allergy.

Aim: The goal of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between allergic symptoms, atopy skin prick test results in type 1 diabetic patients and in non diabetic controls.
Methods: 50 type 1 diabetic patients and 50 healthy control subjects were evaluated for allergic disorders with regard to medical history. All persons were skin-prick-tested for atopic sensitization with a common panel of inhalant and food allergens.
