Cow’s milk allergy results when antibodies against milk allergens are produced by the immune system.
Milk allergens are proteins; more than 25 distinct milk proteins have been identified in the various fractions of milk. The fractions include casein, whey, serum, and certain additional ingredients. (more…)

Patients (and many doctors) frequently use the term ‘allergy’ when referring to any adverse drug reaction, even one that has no features of an IgE-mediated allergy response. However, IgE-mediated allergy explains only about 10% of all adverse reactions to antigen antibody reactions from antibiotics. Patients who have experienced unexplained symptoms during treatment with two or more antibiotics are often said to have ‘multiple antibiotic allergy’; using this definition, the description can be applied to one patient in every 22.

The cross-sensitivity between aspirin and Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs in patients who manifest pseudo-allergic reactions to aspirin affecting the respiratory tract occurs because Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs, like aspirin, inhibit COX-1, so that arachidonic acid metabolism is diverted towards the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, with resulting increased production of cysteinyl leukotrienes, which mediate the appearance of symptoms such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Selective inhibitors of Cyclo-Oxygenase-2 or COX-2 were developed primarily to reduce the incidence of adverse events affecting the gastrointestinal tract symptoms, but the possibility that these agents might be less likely to result in other varieties of adverse reaction dependent on COX-1 inhibition has attracted interest. This review examined the evidence for their greater safety in this respect. (more…)

It is common to find anti-food IgG antibodies circulating in blood, even in people who have no signs or history of adverse reactions to foods. In fact, some authorities think that an increase in anti-food IgG in some cases might be indicative of successful resolution of an IgE-mediated allergy. The subject of IgG-mediated food allergy is extremely complicated because of the nature of the antibody and the immunological reactions associated with it. The present knowledge about food allergy-associated IgG may be summarized as follows: (more…)

It is estimated that more than 12 millions of American are having food allergy. About 4 percent of adults are having this disease and nearly 6 to 9 percent children under the age of 3 are having the same illness. The prevalence of food allergies is rising, where the most common food allergy in children are caused by milk allergy in children, eggs, peanuts allergy and tree nuts. In adults, the most common allergic reaction are triggered by peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish and eggs. (more…)
