HORMONES IN VERNAL KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS
ConjunctivitisVernalVKC is more common in males and tends to resolve with pubertal development. Clinical observation was not followed by an investigation that clarified whether there is a correlation between the hormonal pattern and the evolution of the disease, in particular it is not defined whether there is a correlation between the hormonal pattern and the resolution of the disease. This study aims to evaluate the hormonal pattern in patients with VKC and, in particular, the possible role of these hormones in the resolution of this condition in puberty.
Diagnostic Equivalence of the Skin Prick Test Tape vs. Conventional Skin PrickTest
Allergic RhinitisAllergic Asthma2 moreTesting of a new ready-to-use Tape in comparison to the currently used skin prick test for the diagnosis of allergies. Assessment of clinical equivalence of the SPT Tape for representative common inhalant allergens to conventional SPT in terms of wheal reaction positivity and overall safety. Tests are performed in patients who have a medical history of relevant allergic rhinitis to any of the tested allergens.

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Tacrolimus Drops in Children With Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis...
Vernal KeratoconjunctivitisNon-interventional single-center cohort study (Rothschild Foundation Hospital) of patients aged 0 to 18 years followed up in ophthalmology for KCV, treated with tacrolimus 0.1% eye drops previously treated with ciclosporin 2% with treatment failure. Prospective collection of quality of life from the parents and/or, if possible, the children via the QUICK questionnaire and 6 additional questions Retrospective collection of clinical data (secondary endpoints) from the patients' medical records, aiming to compare the period before the start of treatment and the period under treatment with TALYMUS The objective of this study is to evaluate the response to TALYMUS® treatment in patients with Vernal keratoconjunctivitis who have failed ciclosporin 2% therapy, whether due to lack of efficacy, compliance difficulties or poor tolerance.
Food-specific IgG4-guided Elimination Diets Improve Allergy Symptoms in Children
RhinitisAllergic6 moreAllergic diseases in children are major public health concerns due to their widespread and rising prevalence. The most classic pathway to trigger allergy is type I allergy mediated by immunoglobulin E(IgE), but the role of immunoglobulin G4(IgG4) in allergic diseases is still worth exploring.we have collected the data of allergic patients aged 0-14 years for retrospective cross-sectional analysis to evaluate the positive rates of total IgE, HDM IgE, FS-IgE and FS-IgG4. Meanwhile, investigators screened out patients who were treated with FS-IgG4-guided elimination diets with/without probiotics for more than 3 months to clarify the role of FS-IgG4 in childhood allergic diseases by assessing the improvement of clinical symptoms before and after treatment.

Dietary Choice for the Management of Cow's Milk Allergy Influences Other Allergic Manifestations...
Allergy MilkAllergy;Food3 moreFood allergy is a common chronic condition in childhood. Recent studies have suggested that the natural history of food allergy has changed during the last two decades, with an increased prevalence, severity of clinical manifestations, and risk of persistence into later ages. The increased food allergy prevalence in children has an important economic impact, with significant direct costs for the healthcare system and even larger costs for the families of food-allergic patients. In addition, children with food allergies are at increased risk to develop other allergic manifestations later in life. According to a recent study, children with a food allergy are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop other atopic manifestations such as asthma (4.0 times), atopic eczema (2.4 times), and respiratory allergies (3.6 times), compared to children without a food allergy. Cow's milk allergy is among the most common food allergy in early childhood, with an estimated prevalence of 2% to 3%. It has been previously showed that in children with cow milk allergy, an extensively hydrolysed casein formula supplemented with the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG induced higher tolerance rates compared to extensively hydrolysed casein formula without Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and other formulas. These findings were consistent with those of a 1-year follow-up study performed in the US that showed better outcomes using an extensively hydrolysed casein formula+Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG vs. an extensively hydrolysed casein formula or amino acid-based formula for the first-line dietary management of cow milk allergy. In addition it has been recently demonstrated that extensively hydrolysed casein formula + Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG reduces the incidence of other atopic manifestations and hastens the development of oral tolerance in children with IgE-mediated cow milk allergy. The present randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed to test whether different dietary interventions could influence the occurrence of other atopic manifestations in children with IgE-mediated cow milk allergy.
Influence of Specific Immunotherapy With Pollinex Quattro (Tree-/Grass Pollen) on Allergen-specific...
