Hypersensitivity, Immediate Clinical Trial
Official title:
Norwegian Birch Rust Allergy Study. Allergy to Birch Rust Fungi, a Possible Explanation to Seasonal Airway Allergy During Autumn?
This study investigates whether spores from birch rust fungi (Melampsoridium Betulinum = MB) may be the eliciting allergen in patients with seasonal airway allergy during autumn in North Norway. Patients with suspected allergy to MB are compared with non-allergic controls using data about allergic disease and daily allergic symptoms during autumn. Potential variations in allergic symptoms during season will be compared with spread of MB spores. Sensitation to MB and MB allergy are to be tested with skin prick test (SPT), measurements of spesific immunglobulin E (IgE) in serum, passive basophil activation test (pBAT) and nasal provocation test (NPT)
Symptoms of seasonal airway allergy most commonly take place during spring and summertime, normally attributed to pollen from birch or grass. However, some patients in the clinic have experienced and reported typical airway allergy symptoms during autumn, when there is no spread of pollen. The patients report symptoms of allergic rhino-conjunctivitis and/or asthma, and some also tells about worsening in eczema/skin affections. Birch rust is a disease on birch trees caused by the fungus Melampsoridium Betulinum (MB), and apparently MB spreads in largest amounts in August and September - especially in North Norway. This study aims to investigate if MB is an allergen causing seasonal airway allergy during autumn in Norway. Both type and severity of symptoms of MB allergy are to be investigated, and also the association between spread of MB spores and symptoms of airway allergy. During the study period there are to be developed MB extracts for skin prick test (SPT), serum specific IgE (sIgE), nasal provocation test (NPT) and passive basophil activation test (BAT), and sensitivity and specificity of SPT, sIgE and BAT will be calculated in comparison to NPT as a gold standard test for allergic rhinitis caused by MB. ;
