Iperreattività bronchiale aspecifica in pazienti monosensibili con rinite allergica: variazioni stagionali in rapporto alle IgE sieriche totali ed agli eosinofili ematici

Introduction: The significance of the association between allergic rhinitis and abnormal airway responsiveness is unclear. For this reason, we have studied, in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, non specific bronchial hyperreactivity, total serum IgE and blood eosinophils, with reference to the responsible allergen, during and out of the pollen season. Materials and methods: Fourty-nine, non-smoking patients, living in Palermo, with clinical diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, skin prick tests and specific serum IgE mono-sensitive to pollen allergens, were enrolled in the study. Twenty patients suffered from seasonal rhinitis to Parietaria pollen, 15 patients to Graminacee pollen and 14 …

La sindrome orticaria-angioedema: una patologia internistica ad espressione cutanea. [Urticaria and angioedema. A general affection rather than a specific cutaneous disease].

Urticaria and angioedema will affect 15-20% of the general population during their lifetime, and this remains one of the most vexing conditions to evaluate and treat. This review of the literature is to give the reader a global insight into the spectrum of urticaria and angioedema, focusing on differential diagnosis and pathogenic mechanisms. It will define the role of the mast cell, exploring a possible autoimmune basis for urticaria. Last, the different potential treatments will be discussed. Urticaria and angioedema are frustrating problems for both physicians and their patients; however, the problem may best be approached by considering urticaria as a general affection rather than a spe…
