Roflumilast is an oral, once-daily inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) that prevents the breakdown of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, leading to inhibition of pro-inflammatory signalling. This study investigated the effects of repeated doses of 250 or 500 µg of roflumilast on airway asthma responses to allergen. (more…)

This study compared the diagnostic value of intradermal tests and patch tests in 20 patients with non-immediate reactions to penicillin (none had IgE antibodies to benzylpenicillin or amoxicillin detectable using a commercial RAST [radioallergosorbent test] method), using 30 patients tolerant to penicillin as controls. Intradermal tests assessed reactivity to injection of major and minor determinants of benzylpenicillin, amoxicillin and ampicillin. Allergy patch testing involved the same hapten solutions used for intradermal testing, either embedded in a patch disk or mixed with petrolatum. (more…)

Suspected drug allergy is not easy to investigate. In the UK, few centers have the necessary facilities and expertise, the evidence base of the available diagnostic tests is not robust, and their interpretation of drug allergy reaction is not straightforward. This has led many clinicians increasingly to rely on the patient’s recollection of previous response to individual allergies medicines when anticipating the likely tolerability of future exposure.

Allergy skin testing is probably the most susceptible and practical way to monitor for existing allergy sensitivity. Biological extracts of aeroallergens such as trees, dust mites, weeds, cockroaches, molds, and animal danders are offered for allergy testing. The most common and approved way to test is by putting a drop of antigen on the surface area of the patient’s skin and scratching or skin prick test with a lancet or sharp object. The most essential ancillary test to confirm the diagnosis of allergy is the skin test, which is the gold standard in this respect. The skin test final results must be viewed in light of the history to decide the importance of a positive test. (more…)
