Background. To determine the clinical significance of IgEmediated sensibilization to recombinant peanut allergens. Materials and methods. We examined 30 children with allergic diseases and sensibilization to whole peanut allergen. All children passed through allergological examination, including determination of specific IgE (method of Measurement CAP 100 Phadia, Switzerland) to recombinant peanut allergens: Ara h1, Ara h2, Ara h3, Ara and Ara h8, h9. Results. A wide variation of combinations of sensibilization to various peanut allergens was found. Sensibilization to rAra hi allergen was found in 40% of cases, to rAra h2 - in 36,6%, to rAra h3 - in 33%, to rAra h8 - in 60%, to rAra h9 in 56,6% of cases. Their clinical significance was 36,6% (rAra hi), 26% (rAra h2), 23% (rAra h3), 33% (rAra h8), 36% (rAra h9). Monosensibilization to peanut allergens rAra hi, 8 and 9 was identified in 26,6% of cases. The interrelation of rAra h2 and rAra h8 with atopic dermatitis and rAra h3 with asthma was found. Conclusion. Component diagnostics of peanut allergens has high diagnostic significance in further administration of elimination diets.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic parameters of various methods for determining allergy sensitization to the dust mite allergen Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus in patients with respiratory allergic diseases – allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. Materials and methods: During the study, 88 patients with allergic rhinitis and / or atopic asthma were examined with three different methods of specific allergic diagnosis (in vivo and in vitro) according to the recommendations of the ethics committee of the Pirogov Vinnitsa National Medical University, all of which were out of acute period. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (both intermittent and persistent) and / or atopic asthma. The prick-test was conducted according to the classic test method by normative documents with commercial allergen extracts. Western blots for the determination of IgE levels were performed using RIDA AllergyScreen test systems (R-Biopharm AG, Darmstadt, Germany) and Euroline (Euroimmun). Results and discussion: The results of two systems for the determination of specific IgE to D. Pteronyssinus by the Rida AllergyScreen and Euroline methods have a systematic difference of values (-1.27 kU / l). There is a good agreement between the results of skin testing with D. Pteronyssinus allergens and the detection of specific IgE by the Rida AllergyScreen method, and there is a satisfactory agreement between the results of skin testing with D. Pteronyssinus allergens and detection of specific IgE by the Euroline method. According to the results of the curve of detection of specific IgE by AllergyScreen method for determination of sensitization to allergen D. Pteronyssinus has excellent diagnostic significance (AUC=0,953), detection of specific IgE by Euroline method for determination of sensitization to allergen D. Pteronyssinus – good AUC=0,7.

Background and Objectives: Different types of food introduced gradually in the diet will expose children to different food allergens, increasing the chance of developing allergic diseases. The aim of our study was to determine if allergen-specific IgE values can influence, depending on the diet, the prediction of remission of urticaria in children. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in 132 patients diagnosed over two years with urticaria, admitted to “Sf. Maria” Clinical Pediatric Hospital Iaşi. Total IgE assay was performed by ELISA, and determination of specific serum IgE by the CLA System Quanti Scan method (Innogenetics, Heiden, Germany). Data were gathered and statistical analysis was performed using statistical software SPSS, using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The determination of specific IgE to food allergens was performed on a total of 132 cases. The values of specific IgE were positive for one or more food allergens in 84 patients (63.64%). The most common allergens involved were: cow’s milk in 33.3% cases, egg white in 22.6% cases, and hazelnuts in 11.9% cases. The specific IgE values for the different types of food included in our study had a predictive value for disease remission. Conclusions: The determination of specific IgE confirms the presence of a particular food allergen and may have predictive value for the future development of an allergic manifestation.

Abstract: Considerable knowledge has been gathered on the physiological role of estrogens. However, fairly little information is available on the role of compounds produced in the breakdown process of estrone and estradiol wich may play a role in various diseases associated with estrogen impact. To date, approximately 15 extragonadal estrogen-related compounds have been identified. These metabolites may exert protective, or, instead, pro-inflammatory and/or pro-oncogenic activity in a tissue-specific manner. Systemic and local estrogen metabolite levels are not necesserily correlated, which may promote the diagnostic significance of the locally produced estrogen metabolites in the future. The aim of the present study is a bibliographic review of the extragonadal metabolome in peripheral tissues, and to highlight the role of the peripheral tissue homeostasis of estrogens as well as the non-hormonal biological activity and clinical significance of the estrogen metabolome.

We studied the frequency of occurrence and concentration of allergen-specific IgE antibodies (asIgE) to enterotoxins A, B, C and TSST-1 of Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia spp. in the serum of children with atopic dermatitis in the acute period of the disease. The determination of asIgE levels was performed in 84 children aged from 5 months to 17 years using the immunochemiluminescent method on the UniCAP 100 analyzer (Phadia, Sweden). The level of asIgE was evaluated on a scale of 6 classes.The sensitization to S. aureus enterotoxins was detected in 29 children with аsIgE concentration from 0.35 to 25.8 kU/L (I–IV classes). In 16 children were observed 8 polysensitization options to S. aureus allergens. Combinations of asIgE to A + B and A + B + C enterotoxins were most common – in every fourth and fifth child,respectively. Sensitization to Malassezia spp. was observed in 41 children with concentration from 0.38 to 98.9 KU/L (I–V classes). Polysensitization to both S. aureus and Malassezia spp. allergens was observed in one of two children. A higher degree of sensitisation to Malassezia spp allergens has been established compared to S. aureus.Conclusion. To improve the specific diagnostics of atopic dermatitis, it is advisable to examine the serum for a complete panel of recombinant S. aureus enterotoxins in combination with the determination of asIgE to Malassezia spp.

The aim of study. To determine the structure of atopic diseases and characterization of different allergens in their progression in infants and preschool children in Lesnoy town. Material and methods. We studied a spectrum of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in children’s blood with different allergic diseases. Comparative analysis of the results was conducted with methods of mathematical statistics. Results. Our data demonstrate the different stages of formation of atopic diseases in children. We revealed that clinical symptoms of atopic diseases and relevance of allergens were changing gradually as children were getting older. Our results showed that the role of nutrition allergens is reduced while airborne allergens came to the fore. Conclusion. Formation and progression of atopic diseases are determined by various allergens. The temporary relevance of different types of allergens indicates a diversity of multivalent sensibilization during affection of the «shock» organ; the result of this phenomenon appears as atopic march. Detection the relevant causative allergens is important for prevention of progression of allergic diseases.
