This document discusses the diagnosis of allergies in children. It covers the significance of allergy tests, various in vivo and in vitro diagnostic tests including skin prick tests, RAST tests, and patch tests. It also discusses the development of allergic diseases and different types of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, and food allergies.
At present, 1 in 5 Australians is affected by an allergy, of which food allergies constitute the majority. Often one test cannot conclusively diagnose an allergen and a combination of tests may need to be conducted for certainty.
Skin allergy testing involves using small amounts of potential allergens on the skin to identify allergic reactions. There are different types of tests that detect immediate (within minutes) or delayed (over days) reactions. The skin prick test uses tiny needles to prick potential allergens into the top layer of the skin. Results are read within 15 minutes to see if any raised, red bumps form indicating an allergy. Patch testing applies allergens to patches worn on the skin for 48 hours to detect delayed reactions. Results show any irritated skin remaining after removal. Skin tests help identify allergies to substances like pollen, mold, foods or chemicals that cause skin irritation.
This document provides information on different types of allergy tests, including skin prick tests, intradermal tests, serum IgE assays, nasal provocation tests, and bronchial provocation tests. It describes how each test is performed, interpreted, and its advantages and disadvantages. Allergy tests are used to identify specific allergens that may be causing a person's symptoms in order to guide allergen avoidance and immunotherapy treatments. Precautions must be taken with allergy challenge tests due to the risk of systemic allergic reactions.

It describes the clinical presentations of different types of allergic reactions affecting the skin, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and generalized anaphylaxis. It provides guidance on modifying dental therapy for patients with drug allergies and outlines management protocols for different allergic reactions, emphasizing the use of epinephrine, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and oxygen. Common drugs used to treat allergic reactions are also listed along with important considerations for differential diagnosis of drug-related conditions.
An allergy develops when the immune system mistakenly reacts to harmless substances like pollen, animal dander, dust mites, molds or certain foods. Common symptoms include sneezing, itchy eyes, coughing and difficulty breathing. The document discusses diagnosing allergies through skin prick testing and treating pollen and dust mite allergies with immunotherapy or mite-proof bedding. It also notes that the company offers various allergy-related products to medical facilities.
A drug allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies a drug as harmful and launches an allergic reaction. Common symptoms include rash, hives, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis in severe cases. While any drug can potentially cause an allergy, certain medications like antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and chemotherapy drugs are more likely to trigger allergic responses. Avoiding the culprit drug is the best prevention strategy, and antihistamines, corticosteroids, bronchodilators, or epinephrine may be necessary to treat symptoms.
The document discusses drug-induced skin adverse reactions. Antibiotics, analgesics, cardiac drugs, corticosteroids and NSAIDs commonly cause such reactions. Maculopapular rash is the most common manifestation. Factors like drug properties, dose, route of administration and host factors like genetics, medical history influence reactions. Common causes of hypersensitivity discussed are penicillin, aspirin and sulfonamides. Diagnosis involves skin testing and clinical history. Management includes patient education, genetic testing, desensitization and close monitoring.
Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, refers to nasal and eye symptoms caused by allergens like pollen, dust mites, and animal dander. It can be seasonal, occurring only at certain times of year due to pollen, or perennial due to indoor allergens. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, and itchy eyes. Treatment involves controlling the environment to avoid allergens, medications, and immunotherapy to reduce sensitivity to allergens over time.
An allergy occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen like pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. Allergens trigger the production of IgE antibodies that attach to mast cells and cause them to release histamine and other chemicals when re-exposed, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose. While some people produce IgG antibodies in response to allergens and do not experience symptoms, those with allergies produce excessive IgE. Allergies can be treated to relieve symptoms using antihistamines, decongestants, or allergy shots, but cannot be cured. Prevention focuses on avoiding allergens and reducing indoor triggers like dust and
This document discusses allergy diagnosis and testing. It provides information on:
1. The types of allergies including asthma, rhinitis, food allergy.
2. Allergy tests including skin prick tests, specific IgE tests, basophil histamine release tests.

Power Point 3 "Allergies" by Sandra Landinguinsandrute3
An allergy is an exaggerated reaction by the immune system to substances that are usually harmless. These substances are called allergens and can include pollen, dust mites, mold, certain foods, insect stings, latex, medications, and fragrances. Common allergic conditions affect the eyes, nose, lungs, skin, and stomach and include allergic rhinitis, asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, and hives. Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can affect the entire body. Preventing exposure to allergens and proper treatment of symptoms are important for managing allergic conditions.
Molds are common fungi that can grow both indoors and outdoors. Prolonged exposure to excessive indoor mold growth at work can cause various health issues for some workers, including allergic reactions, asthma symptoms, and flu-like symptoms. The most effective ways to address mold exposure issues at work are to promptly report and fix any moisture or mold problems, thoroughly clean up any mold contamination, avoid exposure during cleanup, and eliminate the underlying moisture sources to prevent future mold growth. Workers' health should be carefully monitored after any mold cleanup efforts.
This document discusses allergies and allergens. It defines allergies as an abnormal immune response and describes common allergens like pollen, mold, dust and foods. It then covers different types of allergies and their symptoms. Diagnosis methods like skin prick tests are outlined along with treatments using medications and immunotherapy. Anaphylaxis is defined as a severe allergic reaction requiring epinephrine. Finally, different categories of allergens are defined such as inhalant, ingestant, contactant and their examples are provided.
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an immune response to common allergens like pollen, dust mites, or animal dander. It affects about 1 in 5 people in the UK and causes symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. While it is usually diagnosed based on symptoms, skin or blood tests can help identify specific allergens. Treatment involves avoidance of triggers, oral antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and immunotherapy for severe cases. Referral to an ENT specialist is recommended if symptoms persist despite treatment or if red flags for other conditions are present.

Allergies are an immune system reaction to normally harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include foods, inhalants like pollen and mold, medications, latex, and insect venoms. Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. Allergies are diagnosed through skin prick tests or blood tests to identify specific allergens. Treatments include avoidance of allergens, antihistamines, nasal steroids, asthma medications, immunotherapy, and nasal irrigation.
More Americans are suffering from allergies than ever before, with 40 million dealing with symptoms like sneezing, stuffy nose, itchy eyes and skin, and upset stomach. It can be difficult to determine allergy triggers, which can include airborne pollen, mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, cigarette smoke, and air pollution. Keeping track of symptoms and seeing an allergist for tests can help identify triggers and develop a treatment plan. Treatment options include medications like antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays, nasal lavage, and immunotherapy (allergy shots), as well as avoidance strategies and lifestyle changes like cleaning regularly and limiting outdoor activities during high pollen periods.
Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to something in the environment that usually causes little problem in most people
Allergic rhinitis is a global health problem whose prevalence is increasing. It is defined by nasal symptoms including runny nose, blockage, itching, and sneezing caused by IgE-mediated inflammation in response to allergens. Risk factors include genetic and family history as well as environmental exposures. It is diagnosed through patient history, examination, and allergy testing. Treatment involves allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy like antihistamines and nasal steroids, and possibly immunotherapy.

The document discusses allergies, defining them as immune responses to normally harmless substances. It describes common allergen types like pollen, dust, foods and identifies symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes. Allergens are classified by their route of exposure - inhaled, injected, ingested, contacted. Diagnosis involves skin prick or patch tests. Treatment includes avoidance, medications like antihistamines, decongestants, steroids and immunotherapy injections.
Allergies are caused by an abnormal immune system response to usually harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include pollen, mold, dust, foods, insect stings, and animal dander. Allergic reactions occur when a person is exposed to an allergen, causing the immune system to produce antibodies that trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals from mast cells, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, rashes, and more severe reactions like anaphylaxis in some cases. Allergies can be diagnosed through skin or blood tests to identify specific allergens, and are treated with medications that reduce symptoms or immunotherapy to desensitize the immune system.
