Asthma from diisocyanates is not mediated through a Type IV, patch-test-positive mechanism

Abstract

The mechanism of occupational asthma from diisocyanates (DI)(1-10)(Fig. 1) is not fully known; only about 10%-30% of such patients have specific IgE antibodies to DI (3, 11, 12). A T-cell mediated response has been considered to be involved in DI asthma (13) and we therefore wondered whether patch testing might be of any help in its diagnosis.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
