Kawasaki Disease and Allergic Diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory disorder with an unknown etiology. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease, which leads to coronary vasculitis among children. Studies of frequent manifestation of allergic diseases in children with KD have been the subject of mounting clinical interest.

Nutrition and Allergic Diseases [PDF]
Nutrients, 2017 The development of IgE-mediated allergic diseases is influenced by many factors, including genetic and environmental factors such as pollution and farming, but also by nutrition. In the last decade, substantial progress has been made in our understanding of the impact that nutrition can have on allergic diseases. Many studies have addressed the effect

Genetics of allergic disease [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 2000 Atopy can express itself as asthma, rhinitis and eczema. The presence of atopy can be assessed by increased levels of total serum IgE and specific IgE to common allergens, skin test positivity and increased numbers of peripheral blood eosinophils. Genetic studies indicate that multiple genes are involved in the pathogenesis of atopy and that different ...

The therapeutic potential of the filarial nematode-derived immunodulator, ES-62 in inflammatory disease [PDF]
, 2010 The dramatic recent rise in the incidence of allergic or autoimmune inflammatory diseases in the West has been proposed to reflect the lack of appropriate priming of the immune response by infectious agents such as parasitic worms during childhood ...

Human Schistosome Infection and Allergic Sensitisation [PDF]
, 2012 Several field studies have reported an inverse relationship between the prevalence of helminth infections and that of allergic sensitisation/atopy. Recent studies show that immune responses induced by helminth parasites are, to an extent, comparable to ...

Effects of early life paracetamol use on the incidence of allergic disease and sensitization: 5 year follow-up of an Ethiopian birth cohort. [PDF]
, 2014 INTRODUCTION: The hypothesis that paracetamol, one of the most widely used medicines, may increase the risk of asthma and allergic disease is of obvious importance but prospective cohort data looking at dose and timing of exposure are lacking. OBJECTIVE:
