Anaphylaxis to apple: is fasting a risk factor for LTP-allergic patients?
This study investigated the potential risk associated with an isolated intake of apple while fasting in LTP-hypersensitive patients with clinical allergy to peach but not to apple. Based on the observation of 6 patients who experienced 7 apple-induced anaphylactic reactions that in 6 cases followed the ingestion of the fruit after fasting, open food challenges were carried out in 12 patients LTP-hypersensitive patients with peach allergy but tolerant to apple. Four out of the 12 patients (33%) reacted to apple upon oral challenge. Therefore fasting seems to play a relevant role in the clinical expression of allergy to LTP.

Cross reactivity between European hornet and yellow jacket venoms.
Cross-reactions between venoms may be responsible for multiple diagnostic positivities in hymenoptera allergy. There is limited data on the cross-reactivity between Vespula spp and Vespa crabro, which is an important cause of severe reactions in some parts of Europe. Sera from patients with non discriminative skin/CAP positivity to both Vespula and Vespa crabro were collected. Seventeen patients had a severe reaction after Vespa crabro sting and proved skin and CAP positive also to vespula. In 11/17 patients, Vespula venom completely inhibited IgE binding to VC venom, whereas VC venom inhibited binding to Vespula venom only partially (<75%). In 6 subjects the CAP-inhibition provided inconclusive results and their sera were analysed by immunoblotting. The SDS-PAGE identified hyaluronidase, phospholipase A1 and antigen 5 as the main proteins of the venoms. In 5 sera the levels of IgE against antigen 5 of Vespa crabro were higher than IgE against Vespula germanica, thus indicating a true sensitisation to crabro. Therefore in multiple positivities to Vespa crabro and Vespula spp the CAP inhibition is helpful in detecting the cross-reactivities.

Assessment of airborne soy-hull allergen (Gly m 1) in the Port of Ancona, Italy.
The aim of this study was to measure the airborne Gly m 1 allergen level in the seaport of Ancona in order assess the soybean-specific allergenic risk for the city. The allergen concentrations detected were low (range = 0.4-171 ng/m3). A decreasing gradient of the airborne allergen from the unloading area (22.1 +/- 41.2 ng/m3) to the control area (0.6 +/- 0.7 ng/m3) was detected. The concentration of the airborne Gly m 1 was not coupled with the presence of the soy-carrying ships in the port. The low level of this allergen seems consistent with the absence of asthma epidemic outbreak.

Anaphylactic reaction following matsutake mushroom ingestion.
Several case reports have suggested that Matsutake mushroom can induce anaphylaxis on rare occasions. A woman with asthma who experienced two episodes of Matsutake-induced anaphylaxis is described. Both the prick-to-prick test and basophil histamine release test showed positive reactions to this mushroom in this patient, but not in control subjects.

Allergen cross reactions: a problem greater than ever thought?
Sensitization against some allergens may cause reactions against other seemingly unrelated allergens. Cross reactions are investigated on a per-case basis, analyzing blood serum specific IgE (sIgE) levels and clinical features of patients suffering from cross reactions. In this study, the authors evaluated the level of sIgE compared to patients' total IgE assuming epitope specificity is a consequence of sequence similarity. Cumulating sIgE values of a patient resulted in a median of 25-30% total IgE. Comparing motif cross reactivity predictions to sIgE levels showed that on average three times fewer motifs than extracts were recognized in a given serum. Extracts belonging to the same motif group co-reacted in a high percentage of sera (up to 80% for some motifs). Therefore cumulated sIgE levels are exaggerated because of a high level of observed cross reactions. Thus, not only bioinformatic prediction of allergenic motifs, but also serological routine testing of allergic patients implies that the immune system may recognize only a small number of allergenic structures.

Should younger siblings of peanut-allergic children be assessed by an allergist before being fed peanut?
The objective of this study was to determine the risk of peanut allergy in siblings of peanut-allergic children. In 2005-2006, 560 households of children born in 1995 in the province of Manitoba, Canada, were surveyed. Twenty-nine (5.6%) index children were peanut allergic. Fifteen of 900 (1.7%) siblings had peanut allergy. Four of 47 (8.5%) were siblings of peanut-allergic children and 11 of 853 (1.3%) were siblings of non-peanut-allergic children. The risk of peanut allergy was markedly increased in siblings of a peanut-allergic child. Siblings of peanut-allergic children are much more likely to be allergic to peanut. An allergy assessment by a qualified allergist should be routinely recommended before feeding peanut to these children.

Peanut allergy: an overview.
"Peanut allergies have been increasing in prevalence in most industrialized countries. Onset is typically in early childhood, with a trend towards earlier ages of presentation. The allergy is lifelong in most affected children, although 15-22% will outgrow their peanut allergy, usually before their teenage years. Manifestations of peanut allergy range from mild to severe, and risk factors predisposing to severe reactions are discussed. However, even in the absence of risk factors, peanut allergic individuals may still experience life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Approaches to investigation and treatment, patterns of cross-reactivity and possible causes of rising prevalence are discussed." (Full free article at: http://www.aacijournal.com/content/4/4/139)

Aspirin-exacerbated asthma.
This review focuses on aspirin-exacerbated asthma (AEA). The review includes historical perspective of aspirin, prevalence, pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment of AEA. Although AEA affects adults and children with physician-diagnosed asthma, in some cases there is no history of asthma and AEA often goes unrecognized and underdiagnosed.

Panallergens and their impact on the allergic patient.
"The panallergen concept encompasses families of related proteins, which are involved in general vital processes and thus, widely distributed throughout nature. Plant panallergens share highly conserved sequence regions, structure, and function. They are responsible for many IgE cross-reactions even between unrelated pollen and plant food allergen sources. Although usually considered as minor allergens, sensitization to panallergens might be problematic as it bears the risk of developing multiple sensitizations. Clinical manifestations seem to be tightly connected with geographical and exposure factors. Future population- and disease-based screenings should provide new insights on panallergens and their contribution to disease manifestations. Such information requires molecule-based diagnostics and will be valuable for developing patient-tailored prophylactic and therapeutic approaches. In this article, we focus on profilins, non-specific lipid transfer proteins, polcalcins, and Bet v 1-related proteins and discuss possible consequences of panallergen sensitization for the allergic patient. Based on their pattern of IgE cross-reactivity, which is reflected by their distribution in the plant kingdom, we propose a novel classification of panallergens into ubiquitously spread "real panallergens" (e.g. profilins) and widespread "eurallergens" (e.g. polcalcins). "Stenallergens" display more limited distribution and cross-reactivity patterns, and "monallergens" are restricted to a single allergen source."

Diagnostic evaluation of food-related allergic diseases.
"Food allergy is a serious and potentially life-threatening problem for an estimated 6% of children and 3.7% of adults. This review examines the diagnostic process that begins with a patient's history and physical examination. If the suspicion of IgE-mediated food allergy is compelling based on the history, skin and serology tests are routinely performed to provide confirmation for the presence of food-specific IgE antibody. In selected cases, a provocation challenge may be required as a definitive or gold standard reference test for confirmation of IgE mediated reactions to food. Variables that influence the accuracy of each of the diagnostic algorithm phases are discussed. The clinical significance of food allergen-specific IgE antibody cross-reactivity and IgE antibody epitope mapping of food allergens is overviewed. The advantages and limitations of the various diagnostic procedures are examined with an emphasis on future trends in technology and reagents."

Anaphylaxis to hyperallergenic functional foods.
This article describes investigations into the allergenicity of a new drink when two cow's milk allergic children suffered anaphylaxis after consuming Wh2ole®. In comparison with cow's milk, Wh2ole® contained at least three times the concentration of beta lactoglobulin. Beta lactoglobulin is one of the dominant allergens in bovine milk. This study shows that modern technology allows the creation of 'hyperallergenic' foods. Allergic consumers are at risk of severe reactions to these products. Avoiding inadvertent exposure is a shared responsibility between allergic consumers, regulatory authorities and the food industry.

Nonimmunoglobulin e-mediated immune reactions to foods.
"Adverse food reactions are abnormal responses to ingested foods. Reactions vary from immunologic to nonimmunologic immune reactions and can be either immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated or non-IgE mediated. Food-induced IgE-mediated reactions range from localized urticaria to anaphylaxis and have been well studied. However, in comparison, there has been significantly less research into non-IgE-mediated food reactions. Non-IgE-mediated reactions can cause respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cutaneous symptoms. The most recent evidence suggests that these reactions are probably T-cell mediated as evidenced in lymphocyte proliferation assays. This review will explore the symptoms and testing methods of the most common non-IgE-mediated reactions." (Full free article at: http://www.aacijournal.com/content/2/2/78)

Pollen allergens do not come alone
"Pollen allergy is characterized by a T(H)2-biased immune response to pollen-derived allergens. However, pollen-exposed epithelia do not encounter pure allergen but rather a plethora of protein and non-protein substances. We demonstrated that pollen liberate lipids with chemical and functional similarities to leukotriens and prostaglandins--the pollen associated lipid mediators (PALMs). To date, two main groups of PALMs have been characterized: The immunostimulatory PALMs activating innate immune cells such as neutrophils and eosinophils, and the immunomodulatory E(1)-phytoprostanes blocking IL-12 production of dendritic cells, resulting in the preferential induction of T(H)2 responses. This article reviews our work in the field of PALMs and their effects on cells of the innate and adoptive immune system. From recent results a general picture starts to emerge in which PALMs (and possibly other pollen-associated substances) may--independently from protein allergens--propagate an overall T(H)2 favoring micromilieu in pollen exposed tissue of predisposed individuals."
Pollen allergens do not come alone: pollen associated lipid mediators (PALMS) shift the human immune systems towards a T(H)2-dominated response.

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis: a case related to chickpea ingestion
Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is recognized as a distinct category of exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) but is very likely underdiagnosed. This report describes a 41-year-old Indian woman who experienced two separate episodes of anaphylaxis while dancing after she had eaten chickpea-containing foods. The first occurred during a party in the summer of 2005; the patient ate a dish containing chickpea flour at approximately 7 pm, and within half an hour, she developed generalized urticaria with facial swelling, mostly in the periorbital region, while dancing. She did not experience any dysphagia, wheezing, or breathing difficulties. At midnight that same evening, the patient felt lightheaded and, after standing up, lost consciousness for less than 30 seconds. After regaining consciousness, she had some nausea and vomiting and felt weak. Skin prick test was positive only to chickpea. Serum specific IgE for chickpea was 0.47 kU/L.

Differences among heat-treated, raw, and commercial peanut extracts by skin testing and immunoblotting.
Peanut allergenicity has been reported to be influenced by heat treatment, yet the commonly available extracts for skin prick testing (SPT) are derived from raw extracts. This study assessed the effect of heat treatment on the SPT reactivity and specific IgE binding to peanut using 3 commercial extracts and 3 laboratory-prepared extracts, including raw, roasted, and boiled, for SPT in 19 patients with suspected peanut allergy and in 4 individuals who eat peanut without any symptoms. SPT with the prepared and commercial reagents showed that the boiled extract had the highest specificity (67% vs 42%-63% for the other extracts). The prepared extracts showed similar SPT sensitivity (81%). Three patients with a history of severe reaction and elevated specific IgE levels to peanut to the 3 study extracts had variable SPT reactivity to 1 or more of the commercial extracts. IgE binding to Ara h 2 was found in nearly all patients, regardless of their clinical reactivity. None of the extracts tested showed optimal diagnostic reliability regarding both sensitivity and specificity.The authors suggest that testing should perhaps be performed with multiple individual extracts prepared by different methods.

Molecular insight into IgE-mediated reactions to sesame seed proteins.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitization profiles of 18 Italian individuals who experienced clinical symptoms after sesame seed consumption, including 4 anaphylactic reactions. The prevalent and almost exclusive reactivity of the sesame 11S globulin was demonstrated. The limited accessibility of this polypeptide chain, unless the interchain disulphide bonds are cleaved, may be one of the reasons for its structural/functional stability and, thus, great potential for induction of IgE reactivity.

Two cases of rush specific oral tolerance induction for wheat allergy.
This study reports on the experience of rush specific oral tolerance induction (rush SOTI) for an 8 year-old girl and a 6 year-old boy with severe wheat allergy. Rush SOTI was started at the dose below the measured adverse reaction induced threshold: ingesting wheat (bread) 5 times a day at 30 minutes interval, increasing the dose by 20% every time. The goal of rush SOTI was set as 5.6 g of wheat protein. The girl achieved the goal on the 10th day, and the boy did on the 8th day. During the course, the girl experienced adverse reactions 9 times and the boy did 6 times, and these were treated with oral antihistamine or inhalation of salbutamol. After leaving hospital, they were instructed to ingest the maintenance dose of wheat at least twice a week, and they are ingesting wheat without any problems for 6 months or for 3 months.

Maternal antenatal peanut consumption and peanut and rye sensitization in the offspring at adolescence.
There is considerable controversy whether maternal peanut ingestion during pregnancy might influence sensitization in later life. This study examined whether maternal peanut ingestion during pregnancy might increase sensitization in the offspring. A population-based longitudinal cohort study with 16 years follow-up was conducted (N=373). Maternal antenatal peanut consumption was documented at birth and peanut and rye sensitization were determined by measurement of serum-specific IgE at age 16. Peanut sensitization was common (14%). In the entire cohort (n=310), there was no association between antenatal peanut ingestion and peanut sensitization (P=0.17). However, there was a strong association between antenatal peanut ingestion and decreased risk of rye sensitization and peanut sensitization in those (n=201) without a family history (FH) of asthma (Rye OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.14-0.63, P=0.001 and Peanut OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.04-0.78, P=0.02). There was an increased risk of rye sensitization in those (n=108) with a FH of asthma and antenatal peanut ingestion (Rye OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.11-6.51 P=0.03). It was considered that these sensitizations were likely to be related to the presence of IgE antibodies to cross-reacting carbohydrate epitopes common to rye and peanut allergens.

Immunoglobulin E antibody reactivity to bacterial antigens in atopic dermatitis patients.
Atopic dermatitis (AD patients are often sensitized against a broad variety of allergens and more than 90% of them suffer from skin superinfections with Staphylococcus aureus. Sera from AD patients (n=79), patients suffering only from allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (n=41) or allergic asthma (n=37) were tested for IgE reactivity to S. aureus, E. coli and gut bacterial antigens. More than 30% of AD patients but not patients suffering only from allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma or non-allergic persons exhibited IgE binding to several protein antigens among them DNA-binding and ribosomal proteins and flagellin. Patients with severe skin manifestations showed more frequently IgE reactivity to S. aureus compared with AD patients with mild symptoms. Positive immediate and late skin test reactions could be induced in sensitized AD patients with S. aureus extract.

Cutting-edge issues in celiac disease and in gluten intolerance.
"Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten-dependent immune-mediated disease with a prevalence in the general population estimated between 0.3% and 1.2%. Large-scale epidemiological studies have shown that only 10-20% of cases of CD are identified on the basis of clinical findings and that laboratory tests are crucial to identify subjects with subtle or atypical symptoms. The correct choice and clinical use of these diagnostic tools may enable accurate diagnosis and early recognition of silent CD cases. In this review, we have considered some relevant aspects related to the laboratory diagnosis of CD and, more extensively, of gluten intolerance, such as the best combination of tests for early and accurate diagnosis, the diagnostic role of new tests for detecting antibodies against neoepitopes produced by the transglutaminase-gliadin complex, the forms of non-celiac gluten intolerance (gluten sensitivity), and the use and significance of measuring cytokines in CD."

Immediate type drug hypersensitivity reactions and associated risk factors in an adult Turkish men population.
The study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (HRs) to drugs in workers. 1152 questionnaires were obtained from adult men. The prevalence of self-reported drug HRs was 3.6% for all reactions. HRs were most common to beta-lactam antibiotics (51.2%) followed by nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (41.5%). Systemic manifestations of drug HRs were associated with only asthma diagnosis. Risk groups should be followed closely as candidates for immediate type HRs to antibiotics and NSAIDs in also relatively healthy and young aged adult men

Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of food allergy in the United States: report of the NIAID-sponsored expert panel.
"Food allergy is an important public health problem that affects children and adults and may be increasing in prevalence. Despite the risk of severe allergic reactions and even death, there is no current treatment for food allergy: the disease can only be managed by allergen avoidance or treatment of symptoms. The diagnosis and management of food allergy also may vary from one clinical practice setting to another. Finally, because patients frequently confuse nonallergic food reactions, such as food intolerance, with food allergies, there is an unfounded belief among the public that food allergy prevalence is higher than it truly is. In response to these concerns, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, working with 34 professional organizations, federal agencies, and patient advocacy groups, led the development of clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of food allergy. These Guidelines are intended for use by a wide variety of health care professionals, including family practice physicians, clinical specialists, and nurse practitioners. The Guidelines include a consensus definition for food allergy, discuss comorbid conditions often associated with food allergy, and focus on both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated reactions to food. Topics addressed include the epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis, and management of food allergy, as well as the management of severe symptoms and anaphylaxis. These Guidelines provide 43 concise clinical recommendations and additional guidance on points of current controversy in patient management. They also identify gaps in the current scientific knowledge to be addressed through future research."

Diagnosis and rationale for action against cow's milk allergy (Dracma).
"The 2nd Milan Meeting on Adverse Reactions to Bovine Proteins was the venue for the presentation of the first consensus-based approach to the management of cow's milk allergy. It was also the first time that the Grading of Recommendations, Assessments, Development, and Evaluation approach for formulating guidelines and recommendations was applied to the field of food allergy. In this report we present the contributions in allergen science, epidemiology, natural history, evidence-based diagnosis, and therapy synthesized in the World Allergy Organization Diagnosis and Rationale for Action against Cow's Milk Allergy guidelines and presented during the meeting. A consensus emerged between discussants that cow's milk allergy management should reflect not only basic research but also a newer and better appraisal of the literature in the light of the values and preferences shared by patients and their caregivers in partnership. In the field of diagnosis, atopy patch testing and microarray technology have not yet evolved for use outside the research setting. With foreseeable breakthroughs (eg, immunotherapy and molecular diagnosis) in the offing, the step ahead in leadership can only stem from a worldwide organization implementing consensus-based clinical practice guidelines to diffuse and share clinical knowledge."

Structural and immunologic cross-reactivity among filarial and mite tropomyosin: Implications for the hygiene hypothesis.
Filarial and mite tropomyosins are shown to be very similar, with 72% identity at the amino acid level, and overlapping predicted 3-dimensional structures. The prevalence of IgE and IgG to Der p 10 was increased in filaria-infected individuals compared with uninfected subjects. There was a strong correlation between serum levels of Ov- and Der p 10-tropomyosin-specific IgE, IgG, and IgG(4) (P < .0001; r > 0.79). Primates experimentally infected with L loa developed IgE that cross-reacted with Der p 10. Therefore filarial infection induces strong cross-reactive antitropomyosin antibody responses that may affect sensitization and regulation of allergic reactivity.

Facebook: a new trigger for asthma?
Doctors are warning that Facebook could trigger extreme stress reactions after a teenager suffered asthma attacks caused by seeing his ex-girlfriend online. The depressed 18-year-old, who was denied access to her site after the break-up, was able to log back in using a made-up nickname. But the shock of seeing her brought on an asthma attack, which was repeated each time he looked at his ex-girlfriend's profile.

Characterizing the relationship between sesame, coconut, and nut allergy in children.
This study examined whether children allergic to peanuts and tree nuts are at increased risk of having an allergy to sesame or coconut. A retrospective chart review of children who underwent skin prick testing (SPT) to sesame and coconut was performed and 191 children identified who underwent SPT to sesame and 40 to coconut. Sensitization to sesame was more likely in children with positive SPT to peanuts (OR = 6.7) and tree nuts (OR = 10.5). Children with histories of both peanut and tree nut reaction were more likely to have a history of sesame reaction (OR = 10.2). Children with sensitization or allergy to peanuts or tree nuts were not more likely to be sensitized or allergic to coconut. In conclusion, children with peanut or tree nut sensitization were more likely to be sensitized to sesame but not coconut.

Contact urticaria caused by a fluorescent dye.
A 28-year-old man developed urticaria while he was working in the garage. The results of the prick test using the gloves and shoes were positive. A fluorescent dye was found to be present in his gloves and shoes. The results of a prick test using the fluorescent dye were positive. His urticaria improved after he stopped using these gloves and shoes.

Interventions to reduce Staphylococcus aureus in the management of atopic eczema: an updated Cochrane review.
An association between the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and atopic eczema has been recognized for many years. Although few would dispute the benefit of systemic antibiotics in people with overtly clinically infected eczema, the clinical role of S. aureus in causing inflammatory flares in clinically uninfected eczema is less clear. To see if atopic eczema can be improved by antistaphylococcal agents, we performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using Cochrane Skin Group's Specialised Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE (from 2000), EMBASE (from 1980), the metaRegister of Current Controlled Trials (to March 2009), plus manual searching of references and conference proceedings. The review concludes that it failed to find any evidence that commonly used antistaphylococcal interventions are clinically helpful in people with eczema that is not clinically infected. Their continued use should be questioned in such situations, until better and longer-term studies show clear evidence of clinical benefit.
