AI Article Synopsis
- Allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction primarily influenced by immunological mechanisms, often related to IgE in asthma.
- Evaluating allergy is important in diagnosis, but having IgE sensitivity doesn't necessarily mean allergens are a key factor in asthma's development.
- The paper focuses on tools available for assessing IgE sensitivity, allergen exposure, and their impact on asthma.
Article Abstract
Allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction induced by immunological mechanisms. In asthma, allergy has a complex role and is usually IgE mediated. Allergy must be evaluated during the work up but evidence of IgE sensitivity does not mean that allergens play a role in the pathophysiology of the disease. The clinical relevance of the sensitivity has to be considered. This paper describes current available tools to screen for IgE sensitivity, allergen exposure and their role in asthma.

Background: Egg allergy is among the most common food allergies in children, significantly affecting the dietary habits and quality of life of both the affected children and their families. This study aims to assess the clinical role of the Basophil Activation Test (BAT) in children with egg allergy and to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy in comparison to other tests.
Methods: The study included 46 children with egg allergy.

Objective: Asthma is an inflammatory airway condition and the most common chronic disease in children. However, there is a lack of biological markers for asthma, especially in children. This study aimed to analyze the changes in periostin levels in children with uncontrolled asthma after 12 months of optimized management.

Aims: We investigated sensitization to food allergens as a prognostic factor for wheezing in children with recurrent wheezing and compared serum club cell 16 (CC16) and surfactant protein D (SP-D) among these children with and without sensitization to food allergens.
Materials And Methods: Children with recurrent wheezing were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Specific IgE to five common food allergens (Fx5) was assessed at baseline, and children were followed-up for 1 year for new-onset wheezing episodes.
Determining the role of basophil activation testing in reported type 1 allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics.
Front Allergy

Department of Dermatology, Eberhard Karls University, Tuebingen, Germany.
Background: Allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics (BLA), especially to penicillin, is the most commonly reported drug allergy by patients. Alternative antibiotics can yield negative consequences, such as extended hospitalization days due to less efficacy and overall higher costs. The basophil activation test (BAT) is an assay, in which activation of an individual's own basophils is quantified by flow cytometry.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by increased skin sensitivity to environmental elements, mediated by CD4 T helper cells (Th2). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) plays a critical role in exacerbating symptoms in inflamed tissues. Conversely, vitamin D has been shown to induce antimicrobial peptides and suppress the inflammatory response.
