“…Electrocautery is readily available to almost all surgeons and its use has stood the test of time (Foster, 1928;Hollender 1932;Joseph etal, 1984). Tissue reduction is caused by fibrosis following electrocautery with minimal risk of post-operative haemorrhage.…”

“…Most patients with Chronic Pharyngitis search the allergists due to concomitant symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis. The clinical sign defining this condition is the presence of hyperemic elevated plaques of reactive lymphoid tissue in the oropharynx [43]- [45]. They were classified in the intrinsic Chronic Pharyngitis (iCP) group with the nickname "intrinsic" just to emphasize the fact that there was no evidence of systemic IgE mediation, similarly to what is already established concerning the iAD.…”

Background: Due to the lack of standardized laboratory procedures able to demonstrate specific non—IgE-mediated immune responses against latex allergens, these conditions are diagnosed mostly by clinical criteria based on empiric exclusion prescriptions monitored by in vivo challenge tests. Objective: To evaluate the opportunity of an ex vivo challenge immunoassay, the Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition (LAI) Test (LAIT), to discriminate non—IgE-mediated latex-specific immunoreactivity. Methods: Ex vivo challenge tests performed with Hevea Brasiliense’s latex extract, monitored by LAIT, were assayed in an asymptomatic control group and a group of patients with diverse respiratory and cutaneous non—IgE-mediated allergic conditions, clinically diagnosed by a certified allergologist. Results: The mean LAI of the control group was 8.3%. The mean LAI of the complete patients’ group was 41.1%. The non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U (WMWU) test comparing the control group with the whole patient’s group showed significance with a p-value < 0.00001. The WMWU test comparing the control group with each other patient’s group showed significance with a p-value < α = 0.05 for all comparisons. The WMWU test comparing the patients’ groups between each other did not show any significant p-value. Conclusion: Several patients from the diverse non—IgE-mediated allergic phenotypes presented variable immunoreactivity against the latex extract, as demonstrated by the LAIT, which proved to be an easy, quick, and inexpensive ex vivo immunoassay with the potential to predict individual immunoreactivity against Hevea brasiliensis latex allergens in real-world patients with non—IgE-mediated allergies.

Immunoreactivity against Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Assessed by the Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test in Patients with Intrinsic Atopic Dermatitis and Correlated “Intrinsic” Non–IgE-mediated Allergic Conditions

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Due to the lack of standardized laboratory procedures able to demonstrate specific immune responses against the culprit allergens, the non—IgE-mediated allergy syndromes are a group of conditions diagnosed mostly by clinical examination and exclusion criteria. Objective: To evaluate the opportunity of the Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test (LAIT) to discriminate specific immunoreactivity against Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) in a group of patients with non–IgE-mediated chronic allergic conditions. Methods: Ex vivo challenge tests performed with Dp were monitored by LAIT in patients presenting diverse non–IgE-mediated allergic conditions: intrinsic Atopic Dermatitis (iAD), intrinsic Allergic Rhinitis (iAR), intrinsic Ocular Allergy (iOA), intrinsic Chronic Pharyngitis (iCP), and intrinsic Asthma (iAS). Results: The mean LAI of the control group was 7%; the mean LAI of the iAR group was 34%; the mean LAI of the iCP group was 44%; the mean LAI of the iAS group was 45%; the mean LAI of the iOA group was 47%; the mean LAI of the iAD group was 55%. The non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test comparing the control group with each other group showed significance with p-value < α = 0.05 for all groups. Conclusion: The Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test is an easy, quick, and inexpensive ex vivo immunoassay with the potential to predict individual immunoreactivity against HDM allergens in real-world patients with non–IgE-mediated allergies.
