Skin testing in delayed reactions to drugs.

30 Jul 2009 Drug skin tests (eg, patch tests, prick tests with delayed readings, intradermal tests [IDT], especially with delayed readings) are used to investigate cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR) in delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by a ... Read more...

[Therapeutic options in vernal keratoconjunctivitis]

30 May 2009 Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic, seasonally exacerbated allergic inflammation of the lids, conjunctiva, and cornea. The pathogenesis of VKC is much more complex than a mere type I hypersensitivity reaction. T-cell-mediated responses, ... Read more...

Suppression of GATA-3 nuclear import and phosphorylation: a novel mechanism of corticosteroid action in allergic disease.

17 May 2009 BACKGROUND: GATA-3 plays a critical role in regulating the expression of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13 from T helper-2 (Th2) cells and therefore is a key mediator of allergic diseases. Corticosteroids are highly effective in ... Read more...
