Pharmacotherapy and immunotherapy are the main treatment modalities for respiratory allergy. The aim of this paper has been to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy in association in allergic patients, and to demonstrate that the patients who have performed a second oral vaccination cycle after 4-5 years from the first subcutaneous treatment, derive benefits that may last for years. This is due to immune system's plasticity.

Purpose: A new commercial immunochromatographic test (Allerwatch) has recently been developed for determining total immunoglobulin E (IgE). We previously reported on the use of this kit for analyzing tear fluid samples collected during the spring. In this study, we examined the relationship between the total IgE level in tears and the specific serum IgE levels in patients with autumnal allergic conjunctivitis.

Purpose: Recently, a new commercial test for total tear immunoglobulin E (IgE), based on immunochromatography (Allerwatch), was developed. We examined the relation between the total IgE level in tears and specific serum IgE.
Methods: A prospective, nonrandomized, cross-sectional study was conducted in 35 patients with allergic conjunctivitis (allergic group), 30 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects (control group), and 8 patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.

January 2006
Paediatric Department, Spina Bifida Centre, Policlinico A. Gemelli, Largo A. Gemelli 8, 00168 Rome, Italy.
Introduction: Children with spina bifida (SB) have a high degree of exposure to latex products as a consequence of repeated surgical procedures, implantation of latex-containing materials and catheterisation. The consequence is a higher incidence of latex allergic reactions.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of latex sensitisation and allergy in a population of children with myelomeningocele (MMC) and to assess the role of associated risk factors.

Background: We have prospectively studied 220 children attending our Division because they suffered from atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, and allergic rhinitis (AR), to assess the epidemiology of atopic diseases, and effectiveness of the diagnostic tests commonly used in allergic children.
Methods: Among the 220 children there were 142 males (64.5%) and 78 females (35.
