There is a growing interest concerning the use of natural remedies for post-viral cough. Many herbal medicines could be used satisfactorily for this issue.<br /><br /> Based on previous studies revealing acid-suppression medication as a risk factor for food allergy tolerance induction, we aimed to establish the importance of those findings in patients undergoing oral immunotherapy (OIT).<br /><br /> We describe a case series of four patients who underwent milk OIT with a concomitant use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication and who developed anaphylaxis after a known, previously tolerated dose of milk.<br /><br /> PPIs may act as a cofactor in patients undergoing OIT, triggering adverse reactions, irrespective of the PPI used or the dosage.

Consequently, monitoring of patient must be prolonged over time. Additional investigations on the influence of different drugs in OIT maintenance phase are required.<br /><br />PPIs may act as a cofactor in patients undergoing OIT, triggering adverse reactions, irrespective of the PPI used or the dosage.

Thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC) - a Th2-related cytokine - increase in various atopic diseases. It has been shown that vitamin D affects Treg cells and immune responses. Zinc as an essential trace element for cell-cell interactions, cellular differentiation, and proliferation. However, the effect of these markers on infantile AD and disease severity are mostly unknown.<br /><br /> The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between TARC, vitamin D, zinc levels, and the disease severity in infants with AD.<br /><br /> AD patients (n = 160) with age and sex that matched healthy controls (n = 79) were included in the study. The diagnosis of AD was made based on the Hanifin-Rajka criteria. The objective SCORAD index was used for the assessment of disease severity.<br /><br /> A total of 160 patients (male 71.9%) with AD were included in the study. The median age of onset of symptoms was 2 (1.0-3.5) monthn to affect these markers. © 2021 Codon Publications.

TARC levels differ between patients and healthy controls. The presence of atopy has not been shown to affect these markers. © 2021 Codon Publications.

Research trends on allergic diseases within rural pediatric populations of Latin American countries is scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis) and their associated factors using the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood-III (ISAAC-III) questionnaire in school-aged children from two rural municipalities in Colombia.<br /><br /> This is a cross-sectional study. The ISAAC-III questionnaire was applied to school-aged children attending elementary schools in the municipalities of Soracá and Palmas del Socorro during 2018. The questionnaires were applied to adolescents aged 13-14 years and the parents of 6-7 years old children. Associations were estimated via bivariate and multivariate analysis.<br /><br /> Among 261 school-aged children (58.2% adolescents), the prevalence of allergic diseases was a is so far scarce in Latin America; further studies are needed to reduce the burden of these diseases in rural populations.<br /><br /> In order to investigate food allergy's prevalence, risk factors and eating behavior of children with relevant anamnesis, a study was performed in Cypriot primary schools.<br /><br /> A specially composed questionnaire for self-reported adverse reactions to food, created in the context of the EuroPrevall study, was distributed in 13 representative primary schools across the country. Participants were sub-grouped into three groups; healthy (H), those with unconfirmed food hypersensitivity reactions (FA<br /><br /> ) and children with a confirmed diagnosis by a physician IgE-mediated food allergy (FA<br /><br /> ). Food habits, family health history and lifestyle factors were assessed and groups' outcomes were compared with each other.<br /><br /> For the study, 202 questionnaires were completed and returned; 31 children (19 FA- and 12 FA<br /><br /> ) reported an adverse food reaction. Significant risk factors for developing FA<br /><br /> were being the first born or having siblings with asthma, attended a day nursery, but also maternal alcohol drinking during pregnancy, parental smoking and parental occupation in food processing or use of latex gloves. The presence of children in the kitchen during cooking showed a protective role. Dietary habits of FA<br /><br /> children were significantly diminished in terms of variety and frequency of consumption in comparison to the rest, in which had a greater overlap.<br /><br /> Further research is required for the interesting risk or protective factors revealing from the current investigation. The negative effect of food allergy in the dietary habits of food allergic children documented in the literature, is strongly supported herein.<br /><br />Further research is required for the interesting risk or protective factors revealing from the current investigation.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal anxiety and attitudes on adherence to ICS therapy in children with asthma.<br /><br /> The patient group included the children with mild to moderate persistent asthma, aged 6-11 years. Healthy children in a similar age range were included as a control group. The patient group was divided into two categories (treatment adherent and non-adherent) according to the regularity of ICS use. All patients were assessed with Childhood-Asthma Control Test (C-ACT), and their mothers were assessed using Parent Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) and Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI).<br /><br /> A total of 156 children (age 7.4 ± 1.4 years, F/M 71/85) with persistent asthma and 60 healthy children (age 7.5 ± 1.3 years, F/M25/35) were included in the study. The rate of adherence in children with asthma was 52.6%. Mothers of non-adherent patients had significantly higher BAI scores than those of the adherent patients and controls (p &lt; 0.
