Exposure and allergic sensitization to cockroach was associated with a significantly greater risk of asthma hospitalization and greater healthcare utilization among 476 children aged 4 to 9 years who participated in the National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study. Allergic sensitization to the mold Alternaria has been identified as a significant allergen in terms of increasing airway hyperresponsiveness and was associated with a nearly 200-fold increased risk of respiratory arrest due to asthma, emphasizing the importance of determining underlying allergic sensitivities in patients with asthma and providing patients with accurate and practical advice on allergen avoidance techniques.

The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is increasing in Western societies. The hygiene hypothesis proposes that this is due to reduced exposure to environmental allergens and infections during early life. The authors examined factors associated with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis at 3.5 years of age, especially those factors implicated by the hygiene hypothesis. The Auckland Birthweight Collaborative study is a case–control study of risk factors for small-for-gestational-age babies. Cases were born at term with birth weight at or below the 10th centile; controls were appropriate for gestational age, with birth weight above the 10th centile. (more…)

Sensitization to pets remains a risk factor for asthma and rhinitis, and can occur in people who have never lived with a pet. Several reports have indicated that living with a pet reduces the risk of becoming sensitized to that pet. Having a pet in the home gives exposure to more than just allergens. In areas with a high frequency of pet ownership, community exposure to pet allergens is almost certainly sufficient to induce sensitization among non-pet-owners. In this review, the authors examined the results of recent studies that have investigated the relationship between pet ownership, specific sensitization to that pet, and allergic sensitization in general.

There is much controversy as to the role of allergen exposure for the development of atopic sensitization towards this allergen. While in some studies, a clear, almost linear dose-response relation between allergen exposure and sensitization has been found, others described a bell-shaped association with higher levels of exposures relating to lower rates of atopic sensitization. Part of the discrepancy may relate to the type of allergen, since mostly cat but not house dust mite allergy allergen exposure has been shown, in some studies, to exert protective effects at higher levels of exposure.

The two strongest risk factors for asthma in childhood are a family history and immediate hypersensitivity to common allergens. This immune response includes both IgE antibodies and helper T cells type 2 (Th2), both of which are thought to contribute to the inflammation in the respiratory tract. Children with asthma who mount an immune response to inhalant allergens have an increased risk of developing asthma because of this combination of genetics and exposure. However, it is sensitization to indoor allergens (e.g. dust mites, cats, dogs, and cockroaches) that is strongly associated with asthma. (more…)

Her case is like King Solomon against Americans with Disabilities Act. The accident begins when a colleague of her ate Buffalo wings at their office. The wings comprised red pepper and paprika, to which Mrs. Kysela, 24 years old, suffers from a rare and potentially fatal allergy. She almost died five years ago because eating chili, and has since sent her to emergency room in hospital of allergy 5 times. This near death accident caused her learning on how to put allergy injections, 11 times, sometimes only in the vicinity of the respiratory peppers or paprika. (more…)

Indoor allergy is generally happens throughout the year and especially in children as they are the most victims of this type of allergy. The allergy can be triggered by hair above the epithelium or pets. Many children live in homes with dogs or cats and it is sometimes difficult to detect the cause of rhinitis symptoms or allergic urticaria if they have contact with the hair of the dogs or cats, or live with them closely.
