Control of environmental allergens as a therapeutic approach.

Abstract:

:The first rule of environmental allergen control is that avoidance is appropriate for allergic patients with asthma. Although this rule is obvious to allergists, it frequently is not considered by families and physicians who are not trained in allergy. The next step in environmental avoidance is to determine the specific sensitivity of a patient. Clinically, practitioners have to address reduction of exposure to more than one allergen, and it is likely that the complexity of dealing with several treatment regimes decreases compliance.

  • Epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of Hymenoptera venom allergy in mastocytosis patients.

    abstract::Hymenoptera venom allergy is a typical IgE-mediated reaction caused by sensitization to 1 or more allergens of the venom, and accounts for 1.5% to 34% of all cases of anaphylaxis. Patients suffering from mastocytosis are more susceptible to the anaphylactic reactions to an insect sting. This article aims to answer the...
