High impact information on Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal

  • Autoantibodies to beta 2-adrenergic receptors have been identified in the serum of one patient with allergic rhinitis ("hay fever") and two patients with asthma [7].
  • Increasing prevalence of hay fever and atopy among children in Leipzig, East Germany [8].
  • We studied the role of IL-10 in the induction of clinical, cellular, and humoral tolerance during immunotherapy for local mucosal allergy in subjects with seasonal pollinosis [9].
  • Bet v 1 is a 17-kDa protein abundantly present in the pollen of the White birch tree and is the primary cause of birch pollen allergy in humans [10].
  • BACKGROUND: Food allergy to apples, hazelnuts, and celery is frequent in individuals with birch pollen allergy because IgE antibodies specific for the major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1, cross-react with structurally related allergens in these foods [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal

  • The immunoblot results suggest that a 17 kd pollen protein could be a major allergen in patients with Platanus pollinosis [12].
  • The efficacy and safety of loratadine, 40 mg once daily, were compared with terfenadine, 60 mg twice daily, and placebo in controlling symptoms of ragweed hay fever [13].
  • In the patients with seasonal hay fever, the following was observed: basophilic cell CFU-c, measured as basophilic cell or histamine-containing colonies, were significantly reduced during the ragweed season compared to before (p less than 0.005) or after (p less than 0.025) the season in the ragweed-allergic group only [14].
  • Preseasonal IgE ragweed antibody level as a predictor of response to therapy of ragweed hay fever with intranasal cromolyn sodium solution [15].
  • METHODS: Forty-nine patients with histories of birch pollen allergy from the upper and lower airways, positive skin prick test and conjunctival provocation test results, and in vitro specific IgE to birch pollen (Betula verrucosa ) extract were included [16].

  • On the other hand, CD86 (B7-2) was significantly upregulated following stimulation in pollinosis subjects (P = 0.02) [26].
  • In combination with the TNF wildtype, the risk for hay fever increased to OR=8.4 (CI: 2.7-25.6) [27].
  • Effect of seasonal exposure to pollen on nonspecific interleukin-4, interleukin-5, and interferon-gamma in vitro release by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from subjects with pollinosis [28].
  • Our morphological study showed that, even before the pollen season, large amounts of IL-4 and IL-1r, exclusive of IL-1 beta, were produced in the nasal tissue of patients with seasonal pollinosis [29].
  • Of this group the 12 RA patients with hay fever were compared with RA patients without hay fever (matched for age, sex, and disease duration) [30].
