The role of food allergy in the etiology of infantile eosinophilic pustular folliculitis

Abstract

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) of infancy (EPFI), as a rare variant of EPF, is an inflammatory dermatosis characterized by recurrent outbreaks, itchy papulopustules and involvement of scalp and other body areas. In our case, we present a 3-month-old boy with persistent itchy vesiculopustular rashes on the scalp, hands and feet, eosinophilia in the peripheral blood test, widespread eosinophil clusters in the swab of the pustule and egg allergy in the skin prick test. This is the first case of EPFI associated with food allergy that is permanently suppressed by elimination diet with the limited use of cetirizine.

Performance Analysis of a Solar-Powered Evaporative Cooling System

“…References Research [21] studied theoretically and experimentally the effect of increasing the water evaporation efficiency of the pad [22,23] proposed a system that used the evaporative cooling effect of water [24] measured dry bulb temp drops of 6-8°C with a 30% increase in the relative humidity of the inlet air [25] they developed model for predicting the thermal performance for cooling building in hot and cold climate [26] studied the effects of air velocity on the performance of pad evaporative cooling systems [27] study the performance of an on-farm evaporative cooler with the effect of different filling materials [28] studied the solar powered winter air conditioning system using evaporative cooler [29] Showed that the effectiveness of direct evaporative cooling system is between 85 and 93%. [30] studied the meteorological and system parameters on the cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency of evaporative cooling systems…”
