Abstract

Introduction: The diagnostic work-up of allergic rhinitis (AR) is first and foremost based on the combination of clinical history data and results of skin prick tests (SPT). Other tests, including specific IgE measurement, nasal challenge, and, as a third option, component resolved diagnosis or basophil activation test, may be useful when the diagnosis is difficult because of polysensitization or when negative results of SPT are observed despite a suggestive history for allergy. The atopy patch test (APT) that assesses the type 4 delayed hypersensitivity allergy is currently not sufficiently used. The data obtained in recent studies on the diagnostic utility of the APT in patients with AR was reviewed. Data Sources: Review of the literature. Conclusion: The data from available studies show that the APT is frequently positive in patients with AR, especially when there is a positive history for atopic dermatitis. Very often, APT is the only positive test and therefore performing only SPT or in vitro IgE measurement may lead to an erroneous diagnosis of nonallergic rhinitis. Recent data suggest a role for APT not only for diagnosis but also in epidemiological investigation on respiratory allergy.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction Systemic reactions to inhaled drugs are rare. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of generalized itching related to the use of tiotropium bromide, a long acting inhaled anti-cholinergic agent commonly used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Case presentation A 78-year-old Caucasian woman was referred to our facility for allergological evaluation. Our patient had been treated twice with tiotropium for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and had experienced an allergic reaction with itching. We performed a double-blind placebo-controlled inhalation challenge for our patient with tiotropium and a placebo. Inhalation tests yielded positive results for tiotropium and negative results for the placebo. The results of a skin prick test with tiotropium were negative. Conclusions These findings reveal that tiotropium may elicit immediate skin allergic reactions. The negative result from the skin test suggests that such a reaction is not immunoglobulin E-mediated.

Abstract

Eosinophilic disorders of the airways affect the nose and paranasal sinuses, the bronchi and the lungs. Involvement of the nose includes the well known non allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome and new disorders characterized by co-participation of mast cells and neutrophils. Eosinophilic bronchitis must be distinguished from asthma, on the basis of some functional findings and a different cytokine profile. Eosinophilic pneumonia comprises acute and chronic forms, Churg-Strauss syndrome, hypereosinophilic syndrome, and eosinophilic granuloma, as well as secondary pneumonia such as Loeffler's syndrome.The treatment is mainly based on corticosteroids and the prognosis is variable, depending upon the development of acute respiratory failure (acute eosinophilic pneumonia, eosinophilic granuloma) or of vasculitis with multi-organ organ involvement in Churg-Strauss syndrome.
