Background: Choosing effective devices (inhaled corticosteroid [ICS]-long-acting β2 agonist [LABA] combination inhalers) as maintenance treatment is critical for managing patients with asthma. We aimed to compare ICS/LABA combination efficacy, safety, and adherence across inhaler types and components in patients newly diagnosed with asthma.

Methods: Utilizing South Korea's National Health Insurance Service data, we conducted a population-based cohort study involving patients aged 18-80 years, newly diagnosed with asthma who received ICS/LABA combination therapy between January 2016 and December 2020.

Diagnosis, Investigation and Management of Non-immediate (Type IV) Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions.

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat

Pathophysiologically, drug hypersensitive reactions (DHRs) are classified into four types: type I, immediate reactions, and types II, III, and IV, non-immediate reactions. They are further categorized as severe or non-severe based on clinical severity. Genetic predisposition and viral reactivation are cofactors of severe DHR type IV.

Stability of diluted chlorhexidine for skin testing in drug allergy evaluations.

J Allergy Clin Immunol Glob

February 2025

Division of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Ariz.

Background: Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), a common cause of perioperative anaphylaxis, is frequently used for skin testing in allergy evaluations. Although CHX's maximal nonirritating concentrations are known, the stability of its dilutions for skin testing remains unexplored, particularly when sterile water for injection (SWFI) or normal saline (NS) are used as diluents.

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the stability and precipitation of CHX when diluted with SWFI or NS for drug allergy skin testing.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by the rapid onset of nonfollicular, sterile pustules on an erythematous base, typically accompanied by fever (≥38 °C), neutrophilia (7.0 × 10⁹/L), and characteristic histopathological features. This case report presents the first documented instance of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis after hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation.

The current study focuses on the potential of second-generation antihistamines, which exhibit fewer side effects compared to first-generation drugs, to block the Histamine H receptor (HR) and mitigate allergic responses. We screened several derivatives of second-generation drugs taking Desloratadine (Deslo) and Acrivastine (Acra) as seed compounds. We performed molecular docking, drug-likeness, quantum chemical calculations, UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapping for understanding drug derivatives potential as efficient drugs and molecular dynamics (MD).
