Abstract

Alimentary allergy has high impact on the quality of life (Qol) of patients and their families: it represents an economic burden for individuals and National Health System. The disease, particularly frequent in pediatric age, recognizes different pathogenetic mechanisms and expresses itself through the production of IgE (IgE mediated form) antibodies or through cell-mediated immunune responses (non IgE mediated forms). The aim of this clinical observational retrospective study is to evaluate the effect of a long-term treatment with Low Dose Medicine (LDM) drugs in pediatric patients affected by IgE and non IgE mediated food allergy. The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of the treatment with Allergy Plex (Guna Laboratory, Milan, Italy) to induce clinical and/or immunological tolerance both to IgE mediated and non IgE mediated food allergy; the secondary endpoint is to investigate the treatment tolerability, the reduction of positivity to Skin Prick test and Patch test to food allergens and the decrease on the peripheral blood of the specific IgE to food allergens. The treatment efficacy was measured through a clinical score. In this study the immunomodulant activity of Allergy Plex 13, Allergy Plex 7 and Allergy...Continue Reading

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.

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer vaccines are vaccines that either treat existing cancer or prevent development of a cancer.
