Biomarkers that are able to predict the response to omalizumab (OMA) in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) are highly valued. The aim of our study was to evaluate the UAS7 (urticaria activity score assessed for 7 days), DLQI (dermatology life quality index), SII (systemic immune-inflammation index), SIRI (systemic inflammation response index), PLR (platelet/lymphocyte ratio) and NLR (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) in a group of 46 CSU a patients treated for 24 weeks with OMA (300 mg every 4 weeks). There were no statistically significant differences observed at the start nor at the end of the treatment between the two groups (responders vs. non-responders) and SII, SIRI, PLR and NLR. However, a statistically significant correlation was observed between severity of urticaria expressed in UAS7 scores and the quality of life (evaluated by DLQI). Furthermore, at week 24, both groups demonstrated significant improvement in quality of life. Our single center study did not confirm the usefulness of SII, SIRI, NLR or PLR as predictors of the response to OMA in CSU. However, it is of importance that even patients who did not respond to the treatment presented a significant improvement in quality of life. Additionally, we also observed that the efficacy of treatment was unchanged amongst patients who underwent a second series of treatment in cases of relapse.

Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia de urticaria crónica en pacientes diagnosticados con alguna patología alérgica, y conocer el sexo y grupo etario más afectado. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte trasversal, observacional y retrospectivo. Se revisaron expedientes clínicos de pacientes diagnosticados con urticaria crónica en la Unidad de Medicina Integral de Tehuacán, Puebla. Seleccionados por criterios de edad, sexo y patología alérgica diagnosticada. Resultados: En el periodo comprendido del primero de enero de 2015 al 31 de diciembre de 2020, se diagnosticaron 373 pacientes con urticaria crónica, con una prevalencia de 10.5 %. Una edad media de la población de 26.05 años. El sexo femenino fue el más prevalente con 59.5 % del total de la población estudiada. Conclusiones: Los resultados reflejan una prevalencia de 10.5 %, con mayor frecuencia en el sexo femenino a una razón de 1.4:1 con respecto al sexo masculino. La prevalencia de urticaria crónica ha aumentado significativamente en los últimos años y en especial en pacientes jóvenes (lactantes, preescolares y escolares).

“…Sensitization to an aeroallergen (atmospheric pollen and fungal spores) is the most common seasonal allergy trigger. Pollen triggers urticaria [3], rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and allergic respiratory diseases [4]. The prevalence and severity of pollen allergy are closely related to pollen types, the biology of the plants, and the area's climate [4,5].…”

Introduction: Allergic sensitization to aeroallergen (atmospheric pollen and fungal spores) is the most common seasonal allergy trigger. The main reason for that study is unexpected skin prick test results obtained in our dermatology department. For that reason, we would like to check whether the consequences depend on cross-reactivity or aeroallergen invasion. Aim: The purpose of the present study is to determine the pollen types, including the amount and concentration of the native and invasive pollen in the Çanakkale Region during the spring and summer periods. The main reason for that study is unexpected skin prick test results obtained in our dermatology department. For that reason, we would like to check whether the consequences depend on cross-reactivity or aeroallergen invasion. Material and methods: The pollen monitoring station was placed in the Çanakkale Central Public Park. The sampling was performed by a Durham trap based on the gravimetric method. The slide was replaced with a new one every week and evaluated by 10× ocular and 40× apochromatic lenses. Results: The primary pollen producers were the following arboreal plants: Pinus sp. (65.0%), Quercus sp. (9.37%), Platanus sp. (4.29%), Moraceae (3.87%), Oleaceae (2.71%). The pollen distribution of herbaceous plants and bushes were determined as Poaceae (4.34%), Chenopodiaceae (1.99%), Plantago sp. (1.97%) and Xanthium sp. (1.35%). In addition to our current knowledge, Ambrosia pollens' first record was found with a ratio of 0.22% in the Çanakkale atmosphere. These invasive plants have most probably entered the atmosphere with long-distance transport. Conclusions: Aerobiological monitoring is essential to determine allergen variety and concentrations to find a cure against pollinosis. The health professionals should apply a skin prick test against a significant allergen, i.e. Ambrosia pollens even if there is no previous report in the region. The authors also advised clinicians to be aware of pollen invasion to ensure that patients do not have false-negative results.
