Limitations of nasal nitric oxide as a screening method of primary ciliary dyskinesia in childhood

2016

Introduction: Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) has been proposed as a screening tool for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). However, there are no reference values by age in consensus guidelines. Objectives: 1) To analyze differences in nNO among a group of patients with PCD and healthy controls. 2) To determine the proportion of pediatric PCD patients with nNO values similar to healthy population. Methods: Determination of nNO by electrochemical system (NIOX Vario®) in patients with DCP (diagnosis confirmed by digital high speed videomicroscopy) and healthy controls (without asthma, rhinitis or atopic dermatitis), aged between 7 and 60 years. Results: 32 patients (17 children, 53.1%) and 32 controls…

Severe Chronic Allergic (and Related) Diseases: A Uniform Approach – A MeDALL – GA<sup>2</sup>LEN – ARIA Position Paper

The aim of this paper is to generalize the approach of the uniform definition of severe asthma presented to WHO for chronic allergic and associated diseases (rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis) in …

Background Exfoliative and erosive cheilitis, may be a source of speech and chewing discomfort, but may also be an aesthetic issue for the patients affected. Such a clinical presentation may implicate a variety of inflammatory conditions, including atopic (eczematous) cheilitis. Topical and systemic agents, e.g. corticosteroids, have been used to treat inflammatory lip conditions. Topical tacrolimus has also been used in some inflammatory lip conditions. Material and Methods We performed a retrospective clinical analysis of atopic cheilitis patients. Results Between 2015 and 2020, we addressed 7 (seven) patients with atopic dermatitis affecting only lips and were diagnosed as atopic-eczemat…
