Implementing PEN‐FAST for penicillin allergy delabeling in a high‐prevalence population
Summary Background and objectives Self‐reported penicillin allergies lead to the use of broad‐spectrum antibiotics, increase drug resistance, and constitute an economic burden. The PEN‐FAST score aims to identify low‐risk patients for direct drug provocation tests (DPT) without prior skin testing with a reported negative predictive value (NPV) of over ...

Gastric biopsies with prominent eosinophils: Clinicopathologic features and response to therapy
The use of the term ‘histologic eosinophilic gastritis’ (EoG) has been proposed for cases with ≥30 eosinophils/high power field (HPF) in five separate HPF and with no known associated causes of eosinophilia; however, these criteria can miss cases with clinically significant eosinophilia and our study results argue against using this term for pathology ...

Diagnosing Systemic Mastocytosis: State of the Art
ABSTRACT With the advent of effective multikinase and selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors in systemic mastocytosis, diagnosing this rare disease has been critical to improving patient morbidity and mortality. This state‐of‐the‐art review interprets the international diagnostic criteria, including differences between the WHO 5th edition classification ...

Case Report: Treatment of systemic mastocytosis with sunitinib [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Mast cell activation disease typically presents as chronic multisystem polymorbidity of generally inflammatory ± allergic theme. Presently, treatment of the rare, cytoproliferative variant systemic mastocytosis employs empirically selected therapies to ...

(A) Proposed model for Abl1 degradation via Nbeal2. Nbeal2 interacts with Abl1 with its WDR domain. This results in proteasomal degradation by a yet unidentified ubiquitin ligase. Therefore, Nbeal2 inactivation stabilises Abl1, which supports mast cell (MC) degeneration. (B) In wt MCs, the Abl1 protein level is controlled by Nbeal2. Furthermore, Nbeal2

Omalizumab for Pediatric Cutaneous Mastocytosis: Case Report and Review
ABSTRACT We report an 11‐month‐old boy with diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis whose severe pruritus and steroid dependence resolved following off‐label treatment with omalizumab. A literature review identified five additional pediatric cases in which omalizumab led to complete symptom resolution in an average of 2 months and permitted discontinuation of ...

Clonal analysis of NRAS activating mutations in KIT-D816V systemic mastocytosis
Cooperating genetic events are likely to contribute to the phenotypic diversity of KIT-D816V systemic mastocytosis. In this study, 44 patients with KIT-D816V systemic mastocytosis were evaluated for coexisting NRAS, KRAS, HRAS or MRAS mutations ...
