| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Allergy - Treatment There are limited mainstream medical treatments for allergies, probably the most important factor in rehabilitation is the removal of sources of allergens from the home environment, and avoiding environments in which contact with allergens is likely.
Allergy - Immunotherapy.
Hyposensitization is a form of immunotherapy where the patient is gradually vaccinated against progressively larger doses of the allergen in question. This can either reduce the severity or eliminate hypersensitivity altogether. It rel ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia - Chronic fatigue syndrome Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) and various other names, is a syndrome of unknown and possibly multiple etiology, affecting the central nervous system (CNS), immune, and many other systems and organs. Most definitions other than the 1991 UK "Oxford", require a number of features, the most common being severe mental and physical depletion, which according to the 1994 Fukuda definition is "unrelieved by rest", and is usually made worse by even trivial exertion (controver ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Allergy - Diagnosis There are several methods for the diagnosis and assessment of allergies.
Allergy - Skin test.
The typical and most simple method of diagnosis and monitoring of Type I Hypersensitivity is by skin testing, also known as prick testing, due to the series of pricks made into the patient's skin. Small amounts of suspected allergens and/or their extracts (pollen, grass, mite proteins, peanut extract, etc.) are introduced to sites on the skin marked with pen or dye (the ink/dye should be carefully selected, lest i ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Allergy - Pathophysiology All hypersensitivities result from an aberration somewhere in the normal immune process. The exact cause of such malfunctions is not always apparent, however, and several arguments from genetic-basis, environmental-basis and intermediate proponents exist with varying validity and acceptance.
Allergy - Acute response.
The difference between a type I hypersensitivity reaction against an allergen to the normal humoral response against a foreign body is that plasma cells secrete IgE as opposed to either IgM (a ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Allergy - Signs and symptoms Allergy is characterised by a local or systemic inflammatory response to allergens. Local symptoms are:
Nose: swelling of the nasal mucosa (allergic rhinitis)
The distinctive behavior known as nasal salute, also known as allergy salute, is the habit of wiping of the nose in an upward direction due to itching.
Eyes: redness and itching of the conjunctiva (allergic conjunctivitis)
Airways: bronchoconstriction, wheezing and dyspnoea, sometimes outright attacks of asthma
Skin: various rashes, such as eczema, hi ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - Pathophysiology See also allergy for a general discussion of the background of allergy
Generally, introduction of allergens through the digestive tract is thought to induce immune tolerance. In individuals who are predisposed to developing allergies (atopic syndrome), the immune system produces IgE antibodies against protein epitopes on non-pathogenic substances, including dietary components. The IgE molecules are coated onto mast cells, which in ...

|
| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - Treatment Treatment options include an exclusion diet and hyposensibilisation. Exclusion diets prevent attacks by limiting exposure to the allergen. Some common allergens require a major overhaul of someone's choice of foods, and multiple allergies can make this approach a veritable nightmare. While young children generally comply due to their parents' involvement, teenagers often rebel or become impatient, requiring a dedicated approach by a nutritio ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - Diagnosis As meals tend to consist of different ingredients, it is not always easy to identify the allergen. Moreover, laboratory diagnosis is imprecise and expensive without a clinical indication which foods may cause the symptoms. Excluding very common allergens is therefore often attempted; in young children, this can be cow's milk, eggs, or tree nuts and peanuts.
If an allergen cannot be identified, blood tests may help identify a cause. A full blood count is usually normal, but severe causes may reveal eosinophilia. Routine organ markers a ...

|
| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - Diagnosis The best method for diagnosing food allergy is to be assessed by an allergist. The allergist will discuss the symptoms that occured after the food ingestion. If the allergist feels the reaction is in keeping with a real food allergy, he/she will perform allergy skin tests. These skin tests are performed by a method called skin prick testing. It is generally very safe and tolerated even by young children. The results are available within 15 minutes. Another option is to perform blood testing, called RAST testing, for ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - Statistics For reasons that are not entirely understood, the diagnosis of food allergies has become more common in Western nations in recent times. (This trend seems to apply to asthma as well.) In the United States, it is believed that about 4% of the population suffers from food allergies. In children, this number is believed to be significantly higher.
The most common food allergens include peanuts, milk, eggs, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat - these foods accou ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - Signs and symptoms Most patients present with diarrhea after ingesting certain foodstuffs, skin symptoms (rashes), bloating, vomiting and regurgitation. The digestive complaints usually develop within half an hour of ingesting the allergen.
Rarely, food allergy can lead to anaphylactic shock: hypotension (low blood pressure) and loss of consciousness. This is a medical emergency. Allergens commonly associated with this type of reaction are peanut and shellfish, although latex products can induce similar reactions. Initial treatment is with epinephrine (adrenalin), often c ...

| | | | allergy: Encyclopedia II - Food allergy - In children Milk and soy allergies in children can often go undiagnosed for many months, causing much worry for parents and health risks for infants and children. Many infants with milk and soy allergies can show signs of colic, blood in the stool, reflux, rashes and other harmful medical conditions. These conditions are often misdiagnosed as viruses or colic.
Many children who are allergic to cow's milk protein also show a cross sensitivity to soy-based products. There are infant formulas in which the milk and soy proteins are degraded so when taken by an infant, their immune system does not recognize the aller ...
