CARATKids: Italian Validation of Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis Control Test in Children
Allergic RhinitisAsthmaThis project is an observational study for the Italian language validation of the CARATKids questionnaire investigating the asthma and coexisting allergic rhinitis control in children. 113 patients with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis followed up from at least 3 months will be enrolled for the validation process at outpatient clinic of Pediatric Allergology & Pulmonology (PAP) of Respiratory Disease Research Center (RDRC) within the Institute of Biomedicine and Molecular Immunology (IBIM) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Palermo (RDRC-IBIM CNR), Italy. The study will be completed in two medical examination, within 3-6 weeks of each other. CARATKids questionnaire, VAS (Visual Analogic Scale) and C-ACT (Children Asthma Control Test) will be filled by each patient.

The Significance of Ambrosia in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma in Israel
Allergic RhinitisAsthma2 moreAmbrosia is known for its allergenicity in the USA causing hay fever and asthma. Israel has always been considered "clean" of Ambrosia but over the past years growth of Ambrosia plants has been detected in several locations in Israel. In the proposed study, patients referred for routine allergic evaluation will also be skin tested with Ambrosia allergens, in addition to their regular prick skin tests with all other airborne allergens.
Eosinophil Markers and Development of Disease in Allergic Rhinitis
Seasonal Allergic RhinitisInflammatory proteins from eosinophil granulocytes in blood from patients with seasonal allergic hayfever have been shown to predict development of asthma at a six-year follow-up. This study is a 15-year follow-up of the same patients to verify earlier results and study disease development.
