Comorbidities & burden of disease in atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is associated with an increased frequency of other atopic & allergic manifestations, including asthma in 10% to 30% of cases depending on age, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, eosinophilic diseases, and allergic conjunctivitis. The comorbidities outside the atopic march are overall less frequent than in psoriasis.

Prevalence of concomitant angioedemain chronic spontaneous urticaria: A systematic reviewand meta-analysis

Angioedema (AE) is a condition associated with considerable morbidity and mortality that can significantly affect quality of life. AE often occurs in patients with CSU although the true prevalence remains unknown. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the available data.

Skin prick test and serum specific IgE in predicting dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis diagnosed from nasal provocation test in chronic rhinitis children

Allergen skin prick test (SPT) and serum specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) are effective diagnostic tests in allergic rhinitis (AR), however, positive results may not always correlate with clinical allergies. A nasal provocation test (NPT) can identify the causative allergen for immunotherapy, but it’s not routinely performed.

Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity incidence,clinical characteristics, and outcomesafter allergological evaluation: A multi-disciplinary protocol from tertiary hospital, Thailand

Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reaction (POH) is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction during an anesthesiologist monitored procedure. We report data of clinically-suspected POH (csPOH) patients undergoing an allergist-performed unified diagnostic workup algorithm for POH.

Humoral and cellular immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern induced by heterologous CoronaVac/ChAdOx-1 versus homologous ChAdOx-1 vaccination in the elderly

The concept of heterologous vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 infection has been adopted in Thailand with limited data on the induction of humoral and cellular immunity, particularly the CoronaVac/ChAdOx-1 (CoVac/ChAd) regimen in the elderly.
