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...

Exhaled nitric oxide in evaluation of young adults with chronic cough.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Bronchial asthma (A) is frequently diagnosed in patients with chronic cough. The study was conducted to determine whether an evaluation of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) concentration can be used as a screening test for asthma in ... Read more...

Rapid desensitization for hypersensitivity reactions to medications.

30 Jul 2009 Drug desensitization is the induction of temporary clinical unresponsiveness to drug antigens to which patients have presented severe hypersensitivity reactions. It is typically achieved by gradual reintroduction of small doses of drug antigens at ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hypersensitivity, Immediate'

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.
