Allergic rhinitis (AR) patients had positive skin prick test (SPT) to extract of these 3 grass pollens. However, no allergenic proteins of 3 grass pollens have never been studied.

Early detection of airway obstruction by impulse oscillometry system in methacholine challenge testing in preschool children. Asian Pac. J. Allergy Immunol. (IF 1.247) Pub Date : 2018-3-20 Jung Won Yoon,Youn Ho Sheen,Eun Kyo Ha,Ji Hyun Baek,Hey Sung Baek,Sun Hee Choi,Man Yong Han
Small airway hyperresponsiveness is a critical aspect in preschool children with asthmatic symptoms interms of asthma control. The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship of changes in reactance (Xrs) and resistance (Rrs) of IOS and FEV1 with those in clinical parameters and to determine which IOS parameter is correlated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness before positive clinical endpoints

Biphasic buckwheat anaphylaxis:Case report and systematic review. Asian Pac. J. Allergy Immunol. (IF 1.247) Pub Date : 2018-3-20 Ping-Hsien Yang,Shyh-Dar Shyur,Ming-Jer Liu,Hsin-Hui Chuang
Buckwheat anaphylaxis is commonly recognized in Europe and Asia, and there is only one case reported in Taiwan so far. Here, we report a case of biphasic buckwheat anaphylaxis in a 57 year-old male patient who lost consciousness twice in the same day after having buckwheat noodles. The serum test shows that Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp)immunoglobulin E (IgE) (42.4 kU/L) and buckwheat-specific

Hamster IFN-γ+CD4+ and IL-4+CD4+ T cell responses against leptospires are significantly higher than those of mice. Asian Pac. J. Allergy Immunol. (IF 1.247) Pub Date : 2018-3-20 Yaowarin Nakornpakdee,Rasana W Sermswan,Santi Maneewatchararangsri,Surasakdi Wongratanacheewin
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease caused by the Leptospira interrogans. The hamster is considered a susceptible host while the mouse is resistant. The knowledge of hamster T cell immunity is limited compared to the mouse. The reason why the hamster and the mouse give different responses to leptospires remains unclear.
