The role of viruses in the development and exacerbation of atopic disease.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine data in support of the viral hypothesis of atopic disease. DATA SOURCES: We retrieved review articles and original research from MEDLINE, OVID, and PubMed (1950-June 2009) that addressed our topic of interest, using the terms ... Read more...

Eosinophilic esophagitis: example of an emerging allergic manifestation?

17 Aug 2009 Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of children and adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). This recently recognized form of chronic pan-esophagitis is characterized by dense eosinophilic infiltration of the ... Read more...

Very low prevalence of asthma and allergies in schoolchildren from rural Beijing, China.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: The prevalence of asthma is relatively low in the Chinese population. There is consistent evidence that growing up on a farm is associated with protection against the subsequent development of asthma. OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence ... Read more...

Definition: Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability.
