Chronic urticaria, rhinitis, and asthma commonly accompany NH. NSAID response patterns in NH patients may help differentiate groups of patients. The present study identified factors associated with asthma in NH patients and observed that there seems to be different phenotypes of Samter's syndrome, for which a new classification scheme was proposed.
Food allergy (FA) is an increasing problem throughout the world. In the last two decades, the frequency of FA has increased in both children and adults. The prevalence differs according to the research methodology, age and geographic regions, ranging between 2.0 to 10.0%. The most common form of FA is IgE mediated FA. In this form, patients may present with life-threatening condition as anaphylaxis or milder conditions like urticaria, angioedema, sneezing and nausea alone. The gold standard in the diagnosis of FA is oral provocation tests. Epidermal skin prick tests and specific IgE measurements as well as component resolved diagnostic techniques are helpful in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients. In this review, the epidemiology, diagnosis, follow-up and prognosis of Ig-E mediated FA in children and adults are discussed and some specific forms of FA such as pollen food allergy syndrome, alpha-gal allergy and food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis are explained.
As NSAIDH and food allergy were associated with CU, their presence should be carefully evaluated in patients with AU in order to predict progression to CU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
