Abstract

Sixty patients with secretary otitis media (SOM) and 50 control cases were studied for their cellular immunity and hypersensitivity. Most of patients revealed that total T or T cell subpopulations were below those of the control. Eighty percent of patients had high serum IgE level and 81.2% as Positive in intradermal skin tests on inhalant allergy, but only 51.7% of patients had clinical symptoms of allergy. It was found immunologically that SOM occurred more frequently in allergic patients and most of them had abnormality of immunoregulation, and that there was a subclinical allergy for some of the patients. Allergy might play a significant role in the etiology of this disease. Authors suggest that it is necessary for patients with SOM to have some tests and treatment of immunology.

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.
