“…IgEs are labile in serum with a half-life measured in days. Despite this fact, serum levels of antibody against a unique, pointed allergen challenge (without repeated challenge) have a half-life of 3-7 years (16,17) due to the long life of antibody-producing plasma cells. In addition, persons exhibiting high levels of IgE early in life are highly prone to developing adult atopic allergies (particularly respiratory), indicating that a point measurement of IgE in adulthood is not an unreasonable measure of historical IgE levels (18 -20), a point supported by our data (Table 4).…”

We and others have reported previously that adults with glioma are 1.5-to 4-fold less likely than controls to report a variety of allergic conditions. The consistent nature of this relationship calls for a biological explanation so that preventative or therapeutic modalities can be explored. We enrolled 403 newly diagnosed adult glioma cases in the San Francisco Bay Area over a 3-year period using a population-based cancer registry and 402 age/gender/ethnicity frequency-matched controls identified via random digit dialing. We assessed total, food-specific, and respiratory-specific IgE in available case (n ‫؍‬ 228) and control (n ‫؍‬ 289) serum samples. IgE levels were associated with gender, age, smoking status, and ethnicity among cases and/or controls. Among the cases, IgE levels were not associated with aspects of glioma therapy including radiation, chemotherapy, or tumor resection. Total IgE levels were lower in cases than controls: age/gender/ethnicity/education/smoking-adjusted odds ratio (

“…Early allergic reactions which can be observed in a range from angioedema to anaphylaxis generally occur in the first four hours. Delayed reactions which occur after a few days or weeks may lead to neurologic and vascular events including coagulation disorders, peripheral neuropathy, convulsion, vasculitis, skin reactions and serum sickness (6)(7)(8)(9). In our case, an early type of allergic reaction in the form of marked edema and ecchymosis in the penile skin developed in a few hours.…”

“…Systemic acute allergic reactions are treated like the other causes of anaphylaxis (7)(8)(9)(10). For protection from bee bites garments with long sleeves should be worn at picnic and rural areas, colored clothing and aromatic odours should be avoided, home and enviromental wastes should be moved away without waiting, formation of bee nests should be prevented with insecticides in areas where bees are found with high numbers (2-4, 7).…”

When the patients was seen in the emergency department, the penis was swollen and dark red-purple discoloration was present in the whole skin of the penis (Picture 1). Physical examination findings were normal except for the penile findings. The patient was hospitalized considering the possibility of development of gangrene in the penile skin. Picture 1. Prominent ecchymosis which might lead to necrosis in the penile skin at the time of presentation Picture 2. 12 hours after the presentation the degree of ecchymosis was observed to decrease.Picture 3. Coarsening and enduration in the place of ecchymosis after three days.

“…13 Patients who have experienced systemic symptoms after a sting are at much greater risk of anaphylaxis on subsequent stings, as compared to patients who have only had large local reactions. The frequency of systemic reactions to stings in children and adults with a history of large local reactions is about 5% to 10%, whereas the risk in patients with previous systemic reactions is between 30% and 70%.…”

Specific allergen immunotherapy (SIT)involves the administration of allergenextracts to modify or abolish symptomsassociated with atopic allergy. The process isspecific, in that the treatment is targeted at thoseallergens recognized by the patient and physician asresponsible for symptoms. A decision to use SITtherefore demands a careful assessment of the patient’scondition and the role of allergic triggers.Immunotherapy was first developed at St Mary’sHospital, London at the end of the 19th century, andmany of the basic principles remain valid today.
