Filter by:Prospective monocentric study designed firstly to estimate the proportion of patients who tolerated the continuation of the COVID-19 2nd injection (absence of anaphylactic manifestations). secondly, to know the proportion of definite anaphylactic reactions in cases of suspected anaphylaxis after the first administration of a COVID-19 vaccine the very complete allergological explorations with both the clinical side, skin tests and biological tests will allow us to highlight the responsibility or not of the components of the vaccine,in particular of the excipients (PEG2000, PS80 and tromethamine) in anaphylactic reactions to COVID-19 vaccines A biological collection will be set up during this clinical study in order to study the immunological mechanisms; the effector cells and the signalling pathways involved in these reactions.
The FARE Patient Registry will serve as a prospective, observational food allergy reporting system that stores detailed health and other basic information about patients' real-world experiences with food allergies, to encourage open sharing of de-identified data and participation in clinical trials. The FARE Patient Registry intends to make and support scientific discoveries by enabling the food allergy community to participate directly in research.
Research in acute care faces many challenges, including enrollment challenges, legal limitations in data sharing, limited funding, and lack of singular ownership of the domain of acute care. To overcome some of these challenges, the Center of Acute Care of the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, has established a de novo data-, image- and biobank named "Acutelines". Acutelines is initiated to improve recognition and treatment of acute diseases and obtain insight in the consequences of acute diseases, including factors predicting its outcome. Thereby, Acutelines contributes to development of personalized treatment and improves prediction of patient outcomes after an acute admission.
This registry aims to monitor the safety of Xueshuantong Injection and to identify the potential risk factors for the adverse drug reactions.
Anaphylaxis is an acute serious allergic reaction, with multi-organ system manifestations caused by the release of chemical mediators and it is potentially fatal . Between 5% and 14% of patients may experience a recurrence of anaphylaxis 8-12 hours after the initial presentation, called biphasic (late-phase) . The mainstay of treatment for children experiencing anaphylaxis remains adrenaline and H1-antihistamines. Corticosteroids are not life-saving and do not have an immediate effect on the symptoms of anaphylaxis but may help reduce or prevent a biphasic "late phase" reaction . The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral glucocorticoids in prevention of the second phase or biphasic reaction of anaphylaxis, as compared to placebo in children, presenting to the pediatric emergency department (PEC Al-Sadd) with mild to moderate anaphylaxis (Prospective Study). Patients will be randomized to either one of the two treatment: Treatment 1: Dexamethasone 0.6mg/kg oral. Treatment 2 : Placebo All patients will be urgently treated for anaphylaxis according to guideline protocol. Enrolled patients will be given one of the study medications orally, and he /she will observe in the observation room with cardiac monitor and close monitoring by nurse. The treating physician will discharge patient when he/she looks well, breathing comfortably, has oxygen saturation >94%, stable blood pressure and no gastrointestinal or neurological manifestation. Discharge patients will be sent home on anti-histamine (cetirizine) for 5days. All patients will be followed up for one week post discharge by a phone call asking about the general condition, relapse of symptoms, or need for readmission.
The main objective of this study is to compare pholcodine exposure in patients having presented with a perianaesthetic anaphylactic reaction to a NMBA (cases) to pholcodine exposure in matched anaesthetised patients with injection of NMBA, who did not present with an anaphylactic reaction (controls). The secondary objectives of the study are: - To compare anti-pholcodine IgE, anti-ammonium IV IgE and total IgE levels between the case and control groups. - To study the concordance between exposure to pholcodine in cases and controls, by means of a patient self-questionnaire on the one hand and, on the other hand, by a computerized drug history, supplemented where relevant by the drug master file. - To study the impact of taking 1, 2 or 3 sources in account for pholcodine exposition. - To study the association between exposure to pholcodine and the presence/levels of pholcodine-specific IgE, reflecting sensitisation to pholcodine. - To study NMBA and pholcodine cross-sensitisation by testing skin reactions to pholcodine in case patients allergic to (at least) one NMBA.
Food allergies represent an increasing health concern in the industrialized countries and especially affect pediatric patients. In this population adverse reactions against food compounds can lead to anaphylactic reactions. Despite substantial research efforts, clinical markers predicting disease severity and symptoms are missing to date. Recent studies have revealed that sphingolipids, especially sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), play an essential role in allergy. It was reported that asthmatic patients have higher S1P levels in bronchiallavage fluids after allergen challenge. First experimental studies revealed a correlation of S1P and the outcome of anaphylaxis. Furthermore, we have shown in our recent mouse study that S1P homeostasis is pivotal for food allergy induction and effector cell response. Therefore, it is the aim of the presented pilot project to evaluate whether S1P serum titers are altered in food allergic children and if the S1P levels correlate with the outcome of anaphylaxis during double blind placebo controlled food challenges (DBPCFCs).
Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that develops rapidly and can cause death. Some patients experience anaphylaxis is association with exercise, a disorder called exercise-induced anaphylaxis. A subset of patients with unexplained anaphylaxis, especially those with hypotension during the anaphylactic episodes, have been shown to have abnormal, clonal populations of a certain cell type, mast cells, in the bone marrow. This has been described in at least one patient with exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The investigators would like review the findings in a group of patients with exercise-induced anaphylaxis who have undergone evaluation for the presence of abnormal, clonal mast cells.
This study will explore the possible cause of unexplained, or idiopathic, anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a rapid, life-threatening, severe reaction that occurs suddenly after contact with an allergy-causing substance, usually a particular food, drug or stinging insect. The allergen triggers mast cells to release several substances, including histamine. Histamine is responsible for many of the symptoms that may occur, such as flushing, hives, swelling of the palms and soles or tongue and vocal cords, nasal congestion, itching and tearing of the eyes, shortness of breath and wheezing, stomach pain, vomiting, low blood pressure, loss of consciousness, shock, and, rarely, death. Severe episodes of anaphylaxis are treated with epinephrine (adrenaline), followed by oral antihistamines and steroids. In more than half of cases of anaphylaxis, a clear cause is not identified. These cases are called idiopathic anaphylaxis. There is no cure or long-term preventive therapy for patients with recurrent episodes of idiopathic anaphylaxis. People between 13 and 70 years of age who have idiopathic anaphylaxis, or have anaphylaxis that is caused by specific allergens such as food, venom, or drugs and medications may be eligible for this study. Participants are evaluated at the NIH Clinical Center with the following tests and procedures: - Medical history, physical examination and blood tests. - Bone marrow biopsy. For this test, the skin over the hipbone and the outer surface of the hipbone itself are numbed with local anesthesia. Then, a needle is inserted into the hipbone and a small amount of bone marrow is drawn into a syringe. The needle also cuts a small core of bone marrow, which is removed for analysis. - Other tests that may be needed for evaluation of the patient s condition.
