Pediatric-onset mastocytosis: a long term clinical follow-up and correlation with bone marrow histopathology.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Pediatric onset mastocytosis usually presents as urticaria pigmentosa; and less often as diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis. While the literature indicates that disease often resolves, there has been a move to more aggressive therapy for ... Read more...

Elevated serum cytokines during human anaphylaxis: Identification of potential mediators of acute allergic reactions.

17 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Anaphylaxis is generally unanticipated and requires emergency management. Therefore, the biological mediators in human beings have been difficult to define. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to identify cytokines and chemokines whose concentrations ... Read more...

Perioperative anaphylaxis.

30 Jul 2009 The incidence of immune-mediated anaphylaxis during anesthesia ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000. Neuromuscular blocking agents represent the most frequently involved substances, followed by latex and antibiotics, but every drug or substance ... Read more...
