“…The non-atopic asthma group included 60 asthmatic patients with negative SPT reactions to all tested allergens. In addition, the study included a control group of 60 healthy adults, the majority of whom were selected as part of another concurrent cross-sectional study at the same department (15). Controls were selected from among hospital workers, nursing staff, and relatives of inpatients, had no history of asthma or other allergic diseases, and had normal spirometric lung functions and negative SPT reactions.…”

Objective To compare serum folate levels between atopic asthmatics, non-atopic asthmatics, and healthy controls. Methods This case-control study included 60 asthmatics with at least one positive skin prick test (SPT) reaction (atopic asthma group), 60 asthmatics with negative SPT reactions (non-atopic asthma group), and 60 healthy controls with no history of asthma or other allergic diseases, and with negative SPT reactions. Serum folate and total IgE levels were measured in all subjects. In addition, lung functions were assessed by spirometry. Results Serum folate levels were significantly lower among the atopic asthma group [9.1 (4.9, 12.1) ng/ mL] as compared to the non-atopic asthma group [11.3 (7.5, 14.8) ng/mL] and the control group [12.0 (8.3, 15.1) ng/mL], p= 0.001. Among atopic asthmatics, serum folate levels were inversely correlated with total serum IgE levels (r=-0.483, p<0.001), and the number of positive SPT reactions (r=-0.442, p<0.001). Atopic asthmatics with a total serum IgE !200 IU/mL had significantly higher levels of serum folate than those with a total serum IgE >200 IU/mL. Regression analysis showed that higher folate levels independently predicted lower total serum IgE levels. Folate was not found to be an independent predictor of asthma. No association was observed between serum folate levels and values of forced expiratory volume in 1s. Conclusion Among asthmatics, serum folate levels are significantly lower among atopics, and correlate inversely with the degree of atopy.

“…Some recent studies showed that aeroallergens were a possible aetiology of CU. 36 The prevalence of positive SPTs among patients with CU was 47.7%. 37 Because the symptoms of CU are similar to that of allergen‐induced skin reactions, the concept of IgE‐mediated cutaneous mast cell and basophil activation in CU is possible.…”

IgE‐mediated allergy: a rare cause of chronic spontaneous urticarial with allergen‐specific immunotherapy as treatment option – a systematic review with meta‐analysis from China

Current evidence indicates that IgE-mediated allergy may be causative in a small number of CU patients and specific immunotherapy with these allergens may be beneficial in those patients. However, the number of included studies was small and those qualities were low. So, available evidence is not adequate to draw an affirmative conclusion and larger studies of high quality are needed to provide increasingly convincing data and cases.
