Candida albicans, a component of normal human microflora, can induce synthesis of specific IgE-antibodies in patients with atopic bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis. The study included 25 patients with atopic dermatitis sensitized to C.albicans and 23 patients with atopic dermatitis non-sensitized to C.albicans. The sensitization was determined by the skin test and enzyme immunoassay. The patients had the history of atopic dermatitis exacerbation after taking food containing baking yeasts. Atopic dermatitis with sensitization to C.albicans is characterized by severe course correlating with the following indices: high total IgE (r = 0.6), level of IgE antibodies to C.albicans (r = 0.6), level of serum IgG (r = 0.46) and IgA (r = 0.33). Contrary to adults, children with sensitization to C.albicans had decreased relative number of CD4+, CD8+ and CD72+ of lymphocyte subpopulations. Thus, sensitization to C.albicans manifests in severe atopic dermatitis which in children is often associated with immune deficiency.

Numerous studies have reported on the types of aeroallergen sensitization in various pediatric allergic diseases, but limited data compared the types of aeroallergen sensitization across different pediatric allergic diseases. The aim of this study is to explore the nature and significance of aeroallergen sensitization in diverse pediatric allergic conditions. A comparative analysis was carried out on aeroallergen sensitization in children suffering from allergic diseases who visited the Otolaryngology, Respiratory, and Dermatology Departments between January 2019 and December 2023.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent, persistent inflammatory skin disorder distinguished by pruritic and irritated skin. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are specialized receptors that recognize specific patterns associated with pathogens and tissue damage, triggering an innate immune response that protects the host from invading pathogens. Previously, it was demonstrated that intradermal injection of the humanized anti-TLR2 monoclonal antibody (Ab) Tomaralimab effectively relieved AD-like skin inflammation in BALB/c mouse models exposed to house dust mite extracts.

Vitiligo, alopecia areata, atopic, and stasis dermatitis are common skin conditions that pose diagnostic and assessment challenges. Skin image analysis is a promising noninvasive approach for objective and automated detection as well as quantitative assessment of skin diseases. This review provides a systematic literature search regarding the analysis of computer vision techniques applied to these benign skin conditions, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
