Abstract

The influence of a diet supplemented with n-3 PUFA on the immune status of children with atopic dermatitis and asthma was investigated. The results of the investigation have shown the improvement of cell immunity along with a decrease in the clinical manifestation of the disease. n-3 PUFA could be used as immunocorrectors in combination with pathogenic treatment of children with allergic diseases.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.

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.

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.
