Hyper-IgE may be found under many pathological conditions. The role of IgE is essentially associated with the occurrence of allergic manifestations, which may be accompanied by an increase of their serum levels. Elevation of total IgE has also been reported in association with certain rare genetic immune deficiencies called hyper-IgE syndromes. Other circumstances such as infectious diseases, tumors or autoimmune diseases may also be accompanied by an excessive synthesis of IgE. Considering the diversity of these situations, discussion of the prognostic value of total IgE is useful to the internist.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Enamel Matrix Derivatives (EMD) can support the local regenerative events in periodontal defects. There is reason to suggest that PRF and EMD exert part of their activity by targeting the blood-derived cells accumulating in the early wound healing blastema. However, the impact of PRF and EMD on blood cell response remains to be discovered.

Background: Sleep is a very important physiologic process which is necessary to maintain a state of well-being. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is prevalent among all age groups with variations in presentation and severity. It is often underreported, especially among young people in the Low- and Middle-Income Countries LMICs.

Dengue, caused by the dengue virus (DENV), poses a significant global health challenge. Effective vaccines and treatments for dengue are lacking due to gaps in understanding its pathogenesis and mechanisms in severe cases. This study investigates the role of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in dengue, focusing on its potential association with virus neutralization and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in DENV replication.

Background: The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic has posed a major challenge to global public health, especially in children. Some children may experience secondary infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae after SARS-CoV-2 infection, which has attracted widespread attention. Studies have shown that eosinophils play an important role in respiratory tract infections and are involved in regulating immune responses and inflammatory processes.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the possible association of LPCAT1-rs8352 genetic variant (single nucleotide change C to G) with the onset and severity of pediatric asthma. Additionally, the study examined the influence of LPCAT1-rs8352 genotypes on asthma-related biomarkers including blood eosinophils count (BEC), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) and on lung function [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and the forced vital capacity (FVC)].
Patients And Methods: The study included ninety-six participant grouped into two groups: G1 (46 asthmatics) and G2 (50 healthy controls).
