Rapid Desensitization for Hypersensitivity Reactions to Medications
Drug desensitization is the induction of temporary clinical unresponsiveness to drug antigens to which patients have presented severe hypersensitivity reactions. It is typically achieved by gradual reintroduction of small doses of drug antigens at fixed time intervals, and it is aimed at providing increased safety and protection from side effects, including anaphylaxis. Delivery of full therapeutic doses is achieved during desensitization, allowing patients to receive firstline chemotherapy, antibiotics, or monoclonal antibodies, as well as other drugs such as insulin, aspirin, and iron. Desensitizations are high-risk interventions. Inhibition of cellular activation mechanisms occurs during drug desensitization, allowing for the protective clinical outcomes and lack of side effects in the ......

Perioperative Anaphylaxis
The incidence of immune-mediated anaphylaxis during anesthesia ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000. Neuromuscular blocking agents represent the most frequently involved substances, followed by latex and antibiotics, but every drug or substance used may be involved. Diagnosis relies on tryptase measurements at the time of the reaction and skin tests and specific IgE or basophil activation assays. (Source: Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America)...

Immediate and Delayed Reactions to Radiocontrast Media: Is There an Allergic Mechanism?
Radiocontrast media can cause immediate (1 hour) and nonimmediate (>1 hour) hypersensitivity reactions that remain unpredictable and a cause of concern for radiologists and cardiologists. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions resemble anaphylaxis, whereas nonimmediate ones clinically are predominated by exanthemas. Increasing evidence indicates that immediate reactions and nonimmediate skin exanthemas may be allergic reactions involving either contrast media–reactive IgE or T cells, respectively. Skin testing is a useful tool for the diagnosis of contrast media allergy. It may have an important role in the selection of a safe product in previous reactors, although validation data are still lacking. In vitro tests to search for contrast media–specific cell activation are currently under ......

[Flow cytometric basophils activation test as a method of allergy diagnosis.]
Authors: Potapińska O, Demkow U, Wąsik M
For several years the incidences of allergic diseases and anaphylactic reactions have been increasing dramatically. Classical method of allergy diagnosis - skin prick test in some situations can provoke life-threatening reactions. Detection of allergen-induced basophil activation by flow cytometry has been shown to be a useful tool for allergy diagnosis in those patients. CD 63 and CD203c have recently been demonstrated as a specific activation markers of basophils that are rapidly up-regulated after allergen challenge in sensitized patients. Although flow-cytometry methods are quite sophisticated and expensive, it could be a good alternative in patients at risk of severe anaphylactic reactions or with contradictory test results.

Chapter 3 developmental trajectories in food allergy: a review.
Authors: Dunngalvin A, Hourihane JB
Increasing recognition of the importance of the relationships between perceptions, emotions, behaviors and health has changed the way health and disease are portrayed and researched. A chronic condition may affect and/or interact with already existing normative demands and changes in socialization. Although the prevalence of food allergy and anaphylaxis have been reportedly increasing, the emotional and social impact of growing up with food allergy has received little emphasis. In this paper, we present current findings on the biopsychosocial impact of food allergy on children in order to gain insight into the food allergy experience, from the perspective of the child, teen, and parent living with food allergy, with particular attention to developmen......

Significance of infrequent and unspecific pathologies recorded in the Spanish Survey Alergológica-2005.
CONCLUSION: Several unspecific diseases affected more than 60% of patients in the two groups together. Findings show the current knowledge of allergic disorders due to Anisakis simplex. Diagnoses of hypersensitivity pneumonitis seem to be as frequent as previously published. Idiopathic anaphylaxis seems to be less frequent. The wide-range of times needed to reach a diagnosis was in agreement with the mixture of diseases included in both groups.

The epidemiology of drug allergy-related consultations in Spanish Allergology services: Alergológica-2005.
CONCLUSIONS: Drug allergies are the third most important reason behind consultations in Allergology services, after bronchial asthma and rhinitis. Females are predominantly affected and the beta-lactams, NSAIDs and pyrazolones are the 3 drug families most responsible.

Food allergy in Alergológica-2005.
CONCLUSION: Food allergy is diagnosed in 7.4% of the patients seen in allergy clinics across Spain, and has an important impact on the quality of life of patients. The foods involved in reactions change with age. The clinical presentation changes with the food, although the skin is the most frequently affected organ.
