“…When the resulting wheal is at least 3 mm larger than the negative control, the result is considered positive [37]. Rarely, systemic reactions have been reported after skin prick testing [38]. If skin testing is indicated but not advised (e.g., the patient is taking medications with antihistaminic properties that cannot be discontinued), if the results are ambiguous (e.g., presence of dermatographism) or simply to complement the results of previous SPT, serum specific IgE measurements for the aeroallergens can be considered.…”

Allergic eye disease is common, yet often overlooked in North America. In the U.S., up to 40% of the population is deemed to be affected and this number is growing. Symptoms and signs of ocular allergy can lead to decreased productivity and negatively impact quality of life (QoL). Various treatment options exist to achieve symptom control. For allergic conjunctivitis, ophthalmic agents include antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, dual-activity agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids and some off-label treatments. Immunotherapy is recommended as a therapeutic option. This review provides a summary of the forms of ocular allergies, with a focus on symptoms and signs, impact on QoL, physical examination, diagnosis and therapeutic options of allergic conjunctivitis. Through multidisciplinary collaborations, a simplified algorithm for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis is proposed for Canadian clinical practice.

“…Although in vivo tests are the most widely used by the clinicians [75], they present some limitations: drug provocation tests (DPT) and to a lesser degree skin tests [76] are not exempt of risk especially in patients with severe reactions i.e. anaphylaxis.…”

There are many tools available to assess the presence and severity of allergic diseases in patients. For 50 years, peripheral blood basophils have been used as tools to study these diseases. It is a very accessible cell that binds IgE antibody and secretes the classical mediators responsible for the symptoms of allergic reactions. In the last decade, an even more accessible methodology, using flow cytometry, has been developed to enhance the ability to use basophils for both mechanistic and clinical diagnostics. Basophil testing has been included in diagnostics for different forms of allergies as well as to monitor disease status. A variety of studies have begun to establish both precise methods and their clinical relevance for disease diagnosis, but there remain some important questions on how to take optimal advantage of the behaviours of basophils.

“…Alergen pencetus terbanyak yang menimbulkan alergi pernapasan adalah alergen inhalan seperti serbuk sari, tungau debu rumah, kecoa, dan hewan peliharaan (Rengganis et al 2008;Utama 2010). Sensitivitas seseorang terhadap alergen inhalan dapat diketahui melalui uji tusuk kulit atau Skin Prick Test (Sellaturay et al 2015). Skin Prick Test digunakan untuk mendeteksi adanya antibodi IgE spesifik terhadap alergen yang masuk ke dalam tubuh.…”

Allergy is a hypersensitive reaction in human due to human body produced IgE antibody more than regullary do as a response to the presence of allergens. Asthma and rhinitis are respiratory allergies, could be caused by genetics and environmental factors. The objectives of this study was to analyze the trigger factors of asthma and rhinitis patients at the Allergy-Immunology Polyclinic, Internal Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Center General Hospital, Jakarta. The skin test using grass mix pollen, cat, dog, cockroach, and dust mites allergens were done to 90 respiratory allergy patients. History of respiratory allergy from their parents, and environmental factors such as pets, cigarette smoke, and emotional state were asked and recorded. The patients mostly women, and most respiratory allergy patients could be detected by skin test using dust mites allergens, however, their reaction did not the same for other allergens. More than 50% patients of respiratory allergy have atopy from their parents, for most of patients, their emotional state and cigarette smoke in house could trigger the symptom of respiratory allergy.
