The authors investigated whether environmental control during pregnancy and early life affects sensitization and lung function at the age of 3 years. High-risk children (n = 251) were pre-natally randomized to stringent environmental control (active) or no intervention (control). Questionnaires, allergy skin testing and IgE and specific airway resistance (sRaw) measurements were completed at the age of 3 years. (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.
