AbstractAmong 67 French patients presenting a toxocaral infection, various demographic, environmental, clinical and laboratory parameters (blood eosinophil count, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), serum total IgE, specific IgE against common inhalant allergens, specific IgE and IgG4 againstToxocaraexcretory-secretory antigens) were investigated. Correlation studies and logistic regression analyses were conducted, testing elevated levels of ECP, specific anti-ToxocaraIgE or IgG4 as outcome variables An elevated ECP level was significantly associated with both cough and rhinitis, a high level of specific anti-ToxocaraIgE with itchy rashes and possible atopic status, and an increase of specific anti-ToxocaraIgG4 with rural residence.

To assess the possible influence of atopy on the clinical picture of human toxocariasis, a retrospective study was carried out using file records for patients who attended the Outpatient Clinic of Parasitology in Toulouse University Hospitals. A total of 106 file records for patients who had been diagnosed with common/covert toxocariasis were extracted from the database. Forty-nine patients (20 females and 29 males) were considered atopic since they exhibited a long (≥ 1 year) history of various allergic issues along with a titer ≥ 0.7 kIU/L for specific IgE against at least two out of nine mixes of common inhalant allergens. Fifty-seven patients (42 females and 15 males) were designated nonatopic on the basis of a negative result (<0.35 kIU/L) of the test for specific IgE. Demographic (age and sex), clinical (20 signs or symptoms) and laboratory (blood eosinophil count, eosinophil cationic protein, serum total IgE, and specific anti-Toxocara IgE) variables were investigated by bivariate analysis followed by multivariate regression analysis using “atopy” as the outcome variable. On the basis of our results, the clinical or laboratory picture of toxocaral disease was not affected by the presence of an atopic status.

Eosinophil Counts

We have analysed the relationship of blood eosinophil count and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels in patients with acute and chronic idiopathic urticaria. The ECP levels and eosinophil counts were measured in the peripheral blood of 15 patients with acute urticaria, 25 with chronic idiopathic urticaria and 10 normal healthy subjects. Blood eosinophil counts and serum ECP levels increased in all patients with acute urticaria. Concerning patients affected by chronic urticaria, taking into account the recrudescence of the disease at the moment of taking the blood sample, only symptomatic patients showed increased eosinophil blood values whereas serum ECP levels were increased both in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Furthermore, serum ECP levels in chronic urticaria did not correlate with the peripheral eosinophil counts, as they did in acute urticaria. The results of the present study indicate that eosinophils may play a role in the inflammatory mechanisms in patients with acute and chronic urticaria showing a positive correlation between serum ECP levels and disease activity.

Background. We aimed to apply theZHENGidentification to provide an easy and useful tool to stratify the patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) through exploring the correlation between the quantified scores of AR symptoms and the TCMZHENGs.Methods. A total of 114 AR patients were enrolled in this observational study. All participants received the examinations of anterior rhinoscopy and acoustic rhinometry. Their blood samples were collected for measurement of total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), blood eosinophil count (Eos), and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). They also received two questionnaire to assess the severity scores of AR symptoms and quantified TCMZHENGscores. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine explanatory factors for the score of AR manifestations.Results. IgE and ECP level, duration of AR, the 2 derived TCMZHENGscores of “Yin-Xu − Yang-Xu”, and “Qi-Xu+Blood-Xu” were 5 explanatory variables to predict the severity scores of AR symptoms. The patients who had higher scores of “Yin-Xu − Yang-Xu” or “Qi-Xu+Blood-Xu” tended to manifest as “sneezer and runner” or “blockers,” respectively.Conclusions.The TCMZHENGscores correlated with the severity scores of AR symptoms and provided an easy and useful tool to stratify the AR patients.
