Aeroallergen sensitization correlates with PC20 and exhaled nitric oxide in subjects with mild-to-moderate asthma

Great flood and aeroallergen sensitization in children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis

“…3 Aeroallergen sensitization also associates with asthma severity. [4][5][6] Previous studies have shown that an increase in wheal size and the number of allergens to which a person is sensitized correlates with an increase in the severity of rhinitis and asthma. 4,6 Allergen sensitization is demonstrated by the presence of serum-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to allergens.…”

Asthma and Sensitization Pattern in Children

“…This review also showed that sensitization "pattern varies with ethnicity, location of residance, and onset of asthma, but not age". The same author described two years earlier in a population of mild-to-moderate athma patients 14 % of these showing a sensitization only to 1 or 2 aeroallergens but 81 % showing a polysensitization to at least 3 aeroallergens (Craig et al, 2008). He was also able to demonstrate a correlation between sensitization and factors characterising asthma as exhaled nitric oxide measures as a sign of inflammation activity and lung function values.…”

Polysensitization to Aeroallergens in Patients with Nasobronchial Allergy in Kashmir Valley

“…Poly sensitization is a clinically significant immunological phenomenon [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The increasing number of sensitizations seems to characterize the natural history of allergic patient and may represent a typical evolution of allergy.…”
