Contact dermatitis in Alstroemeria workers. (1/215)
Hand dermatitis is common in workers in the horticultural industry. This study determined the prevalence of hand dermatitis in workers of Alstroemeria cultivation, investigated how many workers had been sensitized by tulipalin A (the allergen in Alstroemeria) and took stock of a wide range of determinants of hand dermatitis. The 12-month period prevalence of major hand dermatitis amounted to 29.5% whereas 7.4% had minor dermatitis. Of these workers, 52.1% were sensitized for tulipalin A. Several personal and work-related determinants played a role in the multifactorial aetiology of hand dermatitis. Factors which showed a significant relationship with major hand dermatitis were: female sex, atopic dermatitis, chapped hands and the frequency of washing hands. It may be concluded that the Alstroemeria workers are a population at risk of developing contact dermatitis and it might be useful to carry out an educational campaign to lower the high prevalence. (+info)Sputum eosinophils and exhaled nitric oxide during late asthmatic reaction in patients with western red cedar asthma. (2/215)
Examination of sputum for eosinophils and measurement of exhaled nitric oxide have been proposed as noninvasive methods of assessing airway inflammation in asthma. The use of these tests in the evaluation of patients with occupational asthma has not been reported. This study investigated the changes in sputum eosinophils and exhaled NO before and at intervals after inhalation challenge with plicatic acid in patients with suspected western red cedar asthma. Of 17 subjects who underwent challenge, nine had a positive bronchoconstrictor reaction (responders) and eight had a negative reaction (nonresponders). At 6 and 24 h after plicatic acid challenge, there was a significant increase in sputum eosinophils among responders, which was inversely related to the fall in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) at 6 h. An increase in sputum eosinophils was also found in three nonresponders. Levels of exhaled NO increased at 24 h after challenge with plicatic acid in both responders and nonresponders, being significant only in nonresponders. No correlation was found between the increase in nitric oxide and the magnitude of the functional changes in the airways. There were significant correlations between the degree of sputum eosinophilia and the level of exhaled NO before and after methacholine and plicatic acid challenge. In conclusion, the late asthmatic reaction induced by plicatic acid in patients with western red cedar asthma is associated with an increase in sputum eosinophils. The usefulness of measuring sputum eosinophils and exhaled nitric oxide in the clinical evaluation of patients with suspected occupational asthma caused by low molecular weight compounds has yet to be determined. (+info)Sensitivity and exposure to indoor allergens in adults with differing asthma severity. (3/215)
In asthma, it is uncertain whether there is an association between degrees of exposure to domestic allergens and asthma severity. The pattern of sensitivity and exposure to common indoor allergens was examined in subjects with differing asthma severity. Sensitivity to house dust mite, dog and cat allergen and exposure to Der p 1, Can f 1 and Fel d 1 were assessed by skin prick tests and settled dust analysis in 28 subjects with severe asthma and 28 age- and sex-matched subjects with mild asthma (two declined skin prick test). All severe asthmatic subjects had at least one positive skin test and 20 of the 28 subjects were positive to all three allergens. Fourteen of the 26 subjects with mild asthma who took skin prick tests were positive to at least one, and one of these subjects was positive to the three allergens tested. Except for bedroom Fel d 1, the proportion of severe asthmatics both sensitized and exposed to each allergen at each site was significantly greater than the proportion sensitized and exposed in the mild asthma group. The geometric mean allergen concentrations, with the exception of bedroom Fel d 1, were greater in sensitized severe asthmatics than the sensitized mild asthmatics, which was significant for Der p 1 in bedroom samples and Can f 1 in bedroom and living room samples. These results support an association between the degrees of domestic allergen exposure in sensitized individuals and asthma severity. (+info)A quantitative comparison of induction and challenge concentrations inducing a 50% positive response in three skin sensitization tests; the guinea pig maximization test, adjuvant and patch test and Buehler test. (4/215)
The sensitivities of three skin sensitization tests such as the Guinea pig maximization test (GPMT), Adjuvant and patch test (APT) and Buehler test (BT), were quantitatively compared with reference to induction and challenge concentrations. Four chemical which had different physico-chemical properties (octanol-water partition coefficient (logP) and reactivity with NH2-group) were used in order to clarify the effect of the physico-chemical properties of chemicals on the sensitivity of the different methods. The induction concentrations inducing a 50% positive response (IC50) demonstrated extreme variation with the three methods. For example, the BT/GPMT ratio of IC50 values for 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene was 33, whereas that for maleic anhydride was 300,000. The results were thought to be caused by difference properties such as the logP and reactivity of chemicals. This correlation was confirmed by using 2-dodecen-1-yl succinic anhydride, which had the same reactivity but higher logP than that of maleic anhydride. On the other hand, the challenge concentrations inducing 50% positive responses (CC50) were less affected by the methods and the BT/GPMT ratios for CC50 values were all within a 10-fold range. These results suggest that the sensitivity might be strongly different with reference to induction concentration, but not challenge concentration among the three methods. (+info)Nickel-induced proliferation of both memory and naive T cells in patch test-negative individuals. (5/215)
Lymphocyte transformation test has often been used as an in vitro test for nickel allergy. We have previously demonstrated the presence of nickel-reactive T cells in individuals with no history of allergic disease and with a negative patch test towards NiSO4. In this study, we show that this proliferative response was mainly confined to T cells within the CD4+ subset. In contrast to conventional recall antigens such as tetanus toxoid, in vitro stimulation using NiSO4 activated both FACS-purified CD4+CD45RA+ 'naive' and CD4+CD45RO+ 'memory' T cells. To determine which cell population reacted with nickel to induce T cell activation, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated into macrophages and non-adherent, HLA-DR-depleted T cells. We found that preincubation of monocytes/macrophages but not T cells with NiSO4 resulted in subsequent T cell proliferation. This result demonstrated that nickel did not exhibit any direct effect on the T cell. Furthermore, the NiSO4-induced T cell proliferation could be blocked by antibodies towards MHC class II (HLA-DR) molecules. Our results substantiate the concept that individuals with a negative patch test towards NiSO4 contain in their peripheral blood T cells capable of recognizing nickel or nickel-modified peptides. In contrast to conventional recall antigens, both memory and naive T cells were activated. Thus, when compared with data obtained from nickel-allergic individuals, this study shows a comparable nickel-inducible T cell activation in non-allergic individuals. (+info)Occupational induction of hypersensitivity after an accidental exposure to chloromethylisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (CMI/MI) in an industrial worker. (6/215)
A process worker in a paper chemical plant developed an immediate local dermal irritation and delayed bullous dermatitis due to induction of hypersensitivity following an accidental exposure to chloromethylisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (CMI/MI) biocide. Contact allergy to the isothiazolinone mixture was confirmed by skin patch testing. The dermatitis healed in four weeks, and the worker was advised to avoid all CMI/MI containing products. In a one-year follow-up he did not present with any further skin symptoms. Preventive measures are important for avoiding induction of hypersensitivity to concentrated CMI/MI solutions in industrial workers. (+info)Analysis of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene polymorphism and ethanol patch test as a screening method for alcohol sensitivity. (7/215)
To assess clinical availability of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) 2 gene polymorphism to detect alcohol sensitivity among a Japanese population, we determined the ALDH 2 genotypes and also compared to an ethanol patch test in 119 young Japanese. Their alcohol sensitivity was evaluated by a questionnaire on the frequency of alcohol-associated symptoms when they drink. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR primers were flanking the polymorphic region in exon 12 of the ALDH 2 gene. The distribution of the typical homozygote, the heterozygote and the atypical homozygote was 63.9, 31.9 and 4.2%, respectively. Gene frequencies of the typical and atypical alleles calculated from the genotype frequencies were 0.80 and 0.20. The atypical genotypic homozygotes were positively associated with facial flushing symptom, but not with positive response for ethanol patch test. These results indicate that ALDH 2 genotypes determination is essential to detect alcohol sensitivity whereas the ethanol patch test has some limitations. (+info)The CXCR3 activating chemokines IP-10, Mig, and IP-9 are expressed in allergic but not in irritant patch test reactions. (8/215)
Differentiation between allergic and irritant contact dermatitis reactions is difficult, as both inflammatory diseases are clinically, histologically, and immunohistologically very similar. Previous studies in mice revealed that the chemokine IP-10 is exclusively expressed in allergic contact dermatitis reactions. In the present study, we investigated whether the mRNA expression of IP-10 and the related CXCR3 activating chemokines, Mig and IP-9 are also differentially expressed in human allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis reactions. Skin biopsies from allergic (13 cases) and sodium lauryl sulfate-induced irritant patch test reactions (13 cases), obtained 1-72 h after patch testing, were studied by means of an in situ hybridization technique. Results of chemokine mRNA expression were correlated with clinical scoring, histology, and immunohistochemical data including the proportion of inflammatory cells expressing CXCR3, the receptor for IP-10, Mig, and IP-9, and ICAM-1 and HLA-DR expression on keratinocytes. IP-10, Mig, and IP-9 mRNA were detected in seven of nine allergic contact dermatitis reactions after 24-72 h, but not in sodium lauryl sulfate-induced irritant contact dermatitis reactions. ICAM-1 expression by keratinocytes was only found in allergic contact dermatitis reactions and correlated with chemokine expression. Moreover, up to 50% of the infiltrating cells in allergic contact dermatitis expressed CXCR3, in contrast to only 20% in irritant contact dermatitis reactions. In conclusion, we have demonstrated differences in chemokine expression between allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis reactions, which might reflect different regulatory mechanisms operating in these diseases and may be an important clue for differentiation between allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis reactions. (+info)The symptoms of dermatitis, allergic contact can vary depending on the severity of the reaction, but may include:
* Redness and swelling of the affected area
* Itching, burning, or stinging sensations
* Small blisters or hives

Prevention of occupational dermatitis includes implementing safety measures such as wearing protective clothing and equipment, using gloves and barrier creams, and following proper hygiene practices. Employers can also take steps to reduce exposure to potential allergens or irritants by modifying work processes, providing education and training, and establishing a healthy work environment.
In conclusion, occupational dermatitis is a common condition that affects millions of workers worldwide. It can cause significant discomfort, impaired quality of life, and lost productivity. By understanding the causes and symptoms of occupational dermatitis and taking steps to prevent and treat it, employers and employees can work together to create a safer and healthier work environment.
Also known as eczema or atopic eczema.
Dermatitis, Atopic is a common condition that affects people of all ages but is most prevalent in children. It is often associated with other atopic conditions such as asthma and allergies. The exact cause of dermatitis, atopic is not known, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Symptoms of Dermatitis, Atopic:
* Redness and dryness of the skin
* Scaling and flaking of the skin
* Itching and burning sensations
* Thickening and pigmentation of the skin
* Small blisters or weeping sores
Atopic dermatitis can occur anywhere on the body but is most commonly found on the face, neck, hands, and feet.
Treatment for Dermatitis, Atopic:
* Moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated and reduce dryness
* Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
* Antihistamines to relieve itching
* Phototherapy with ultraviolet light
* Oral immunomodulators for severe cases
It is important to note that dermatitis, atopic is a chronic condition, and treatment should be ongoing. Flare-ups may occur, and adjustments to the treatment plan may be necessary.
Prevention of Dermatitis, Atopic:
* Avoiding triggers such as soaps, detergents, and stress
* Keeping the skin well-moisturized
* Avoiding extreme temperatures and humidity
* Wearing soft, breathable clothing
* Using mild cleansers and avoiding harsh chemicals
Early diagnosis and treatment of dermatitis, atopic can help improve the quality of life for those affected. It is important to work with a healthcare professional to develop an appropriate treatment plan and manage symptoms effectively.
Irritant dermatitis is characterized by redness, itching, and swelling of the affected area, and may be accompanied by blisters or oozing. Unlike allergic contact dermatitis, which is caused by an immune response to a specific allergen, irritant dermatitis is caused by direct damage to the skin cells.
Examples of substances that can cause irritant dermatitis include chemicals, cleaning products, detergents, fragrances, and certain metals. Prolonged exposure to these substances or repeated contact with them can lead to the development of chronic inflammation and scarring.
Treatment for irritant dermatitis typically involves avoiding the offending substance and using topical medications such as corticosteroids or antibiotics to reduce inflammation and promote healing. In severe cases, oral medications or injectable medications may be necessary. It is important to identify and remove the source of the irritant to prevent further damage and promote healing.
There are several types of food hypersensitivity, including:
1. Food Allergy: An immune system reaction to a specific food that can cause symptoms ranging from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Common food allergies include reactions to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, milk, eggs, wheat, and soy.
2. Non-Allergic Food Hypersensitivity: Also known as non-IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity, this type of reaction does not involve the immune system. Symptoms can include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and headaches. Common culprits include gluten, dairy, and high-FODMAP foods.
3. Food Intolerance: A condition where the body cannot properly digest or process a specific food. Symptoms can include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and gas. Common food intolerances include lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, and celiac disease.
4. Food Aversion: An emotional response to a specific food that can cause avoidance or dislike of the food. This is not an allergic or physiological reaction but rather a psychological one.
The diagnosis of food hypersensitivity typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as skin prick testing or blood tests. Treatment options for food hypersensitivity depend on the type and severity of the reaction and may include avoidance of the offending food, medication, or immunotherapy.
There are several different types of drug hypersensitivity reactions, including:
1. Maculopapular exanthema (MPE): This is a type of allergic reaction that causes a red, itchy rash to appear on the skin. It can be caused by a variety of medications, including antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
2. Exfoliative dermatitis: This is a more severe form of MPE that can cause widespread scaling and peeling of the skin. It is often associated with reactions to antibiotics and other medications.
3. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS): This is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that can be caused by certain medications, including antibiotics and NSAIDs. SJS can cause blisters to form on the skin and mucous membranes, as well as fever and fatigue.
4. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN): This is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition that can be caused by certain medications, including antibiotics and NSAIDs. TEN can cause widespread peeling of the skin, as well as fever and fatigue.
5. Anaphylaxis: This is a severe allergic reaction that can be caused by a variety of medications, including antibiotics and NSAIDs. It can cause symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
Drug hypersensitivity reactions can be diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, medical history, and laboratory tests. Treatment typically involves discontinuing the medication that is causing the reaction, as well as providing supportive care to manage symptoms such as fever, itching, and pain. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to monitor and treat the reaction.
Prevention of drug hypersensitivity reactions can be challenging, but there are several strategies that can help reduce the risk. These include:
1. Gradual dose escalation: When starting a new medication, it is important to gradually increase the dose over time to allow the body to adjust.
2. Monitoring for signs of a reaction: Patients should be monitored closely for signs of a reaction, such as hives, itching, or difficulty breathing.
3. Avoiding certain medications: In some cases, it may be necessary to avoid certain medications that are known to cause hypersensitivity reactions.
4. Skin testing: Skin testing can be used to determine whether a patient is allergic to a particular medication before starting treatment.
5. Desensitization: In some cases, desensitization therapy may be used to gradually expose the patient to the medication that is causing the reaction, with the goal of reducing the risk of an adverse event.
Flushing can also be a side effect of certain medications, such as beta-blockers, aspirin, and some antidepressants. In addition, flushing can be a sign of an underlying condition that affects blood flow or blood vessels, such as Raynaud's disease or lupus.
Treatment for flushing will depend on the underlying cause. For example, if flushing is caused by an allergic reaction, medications such as antihistamines may be prescribed. If the flushing is caused by a medical condition, treatment will focus on managing that condition. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as avoiding triggers, wearing protective clothing, and using cool compresses can help reduce flushing.
It is important to seek medical attention if flushing is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing. Your healthcare provider can diagnose the underlying cause of flushing and recommend appropriate treatment.
Some common types of hand dermatoses include:
1. Contact dermatitis: This is a type of eczema that occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen. It can cause redness, itching, and dryness on the hands.
2. Psoriasis: This is a chronic condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. It can affect any part of the body, including the hands.
3. Eczema: This is a general term for a group of conditions that cause dry, itchy skin. It can affect the hands as well as other parts of the body.
4. Dermatitis herpetiformis: This is a condition that causes small blisters or bumps on the skin, often in conjunction with other symptoms such as fever and joint pain.
5. Urticaria: This is a condition that causes hives or itchy, raised welts on the skin. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, infections, and environmental exposures.
6. Angioedema: This is a condition that causes swelling of the deeper layers of skin, often in conjunction with hives or other symptoms.
7. Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum: This is a condition that affects people with diabetes and causes raised, darkened areas on the skin, often on the hands and feet.
8. Hand eczema: This is a type of eczema that specifically affects the hands, causing dryness, itching, and redness on the palms and soles.
Treatment for hand dermatoses depends on the underlying cause and can include topical creams or ointments, medications, and lifestyle changes such as avoiding irritants and allergens, keeping the hands moisturized, and protecting them from extreme temperatures. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove affected skin or repair damaged tissue.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any persistent or severe symptoms on your hands, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve outcomes.
The symptoms of scabies can include intense itching, especially at night, as well as a rash, skin irritation, and blisters. In severe cases, scabies can lead to infections and other complications.
Scabies is typically diagnosed through a physical examination of the skin and a review of medical history. A skin scraping may also be performed to collect mites or eggs for laboratory testing.
Treatment for scabies involves applying topical creams or lotions that contain permethrin or crotamiton to the entire body, from the neck down. These medications kill the mites and their eggs, but they do not provide immediate relief from itching.
It is important to treat all members of a household or close contacts at the same time as the infected person to prevent re-infestation. In addition, it is recommended to wash and dry clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water and dry them in a hot dryer to kill any mites or eggs that may have fallen off the body.
Preventive measures for scabies include avoiding close contact with people who have the infection, wearing protective clothing and gloves when caring for infected individuals, and regularly washing and drying items that come into contact with the skin.
Dermatitis, contact can be acute or chronic, depending on the severity and duration of the exposure. In acute cases, the symptoms may resolve within a few days after removing the offending substance. Chronic dermatitis, on the other hand, can persist for weeks or even months, and may require ongoing treatment to manage the symptoms.
The symptoms of contact dermatitis can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the exposure. Common symptoms include:
* Redness and inflammation of the skin
* Itching and burning sensations
* Swelling and blistering
* Cracks or fissures in the skin
* Difficulty healing or recurring infections
In severe cases, contact dermatitis can lead to complications such as:
* Infection with bacteria or fungi
* Scarring and disfigurement
* Emotional distress and anxiety
Diagnosis of contact dermatitis is typically made based on the patient's medical history and physical examination. Allergic patch testing may also be performed to identify specific allergens that are causing the condition.
Treatment for contact dermatitis usually involves avoiding the offending substance and using topical or oral medications to manage symptoms. In severe cases, systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. Phototherapy and alternative therapies such as herbal remedies or acupuncture may also be considered.
Prevention of contact dermatitis involves identifying and avoiding substances that cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation. Individuals with a history of contact dermatitis should take precautions when handling new substances, and should be aware of the potential for cross-reactivity between different allergens.

Erythema multiforme (EM) is a type of skin rash that can occur as an adverse reaction to certain medications, infections, or other triggers. It is characterized by flat, red lesions with a distinctive "target" or "bull's-eye" pattern.
The condition is relatively common and can affect people of all ages, but it is most commonly seen in young adults and children. Women are more likely to be affected than men.
There are several types of erythema multiforme, including:
1. Erythema multiforme minor (EM minor): This type of EM is mild and self-limiting, and it typically resolves on its own within a few days without scarring.
2. Erythema multiforme major (EM major): This type of EM can be more severe and may lead to scarring. It can also be associated with other systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, and joint pain.
3. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS): This is a more severe form of EM that can be life-threatening. It is characterized by widespread skin blisters and mucous membrane lesions, and it can lead to serious complications such as infections and organ failure.
The exact cause of erythema multiforme is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an immune-mediated reaction to certain triggers. Common triggers include:
1. Medications: Certain medications such as antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and blood pressure medications can cause EM.
2. Infections: Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections can trigger EM.
3. Other triggers: Other triggers of EM include exposure to the sun, stress, and certain foods or substances.
The diagnosis of erythema multiforme is based on the appearance of the skin rash and a thorough medical history. Laboratory tests may be performed to rule out other conditions and identify any underlying infections. Treatment for EM typically involves addressing any underlying triggers, such as stopping medications or treating infections, and supporting the body's immune system with antibiotics and/or corticosteroids. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to monitor and treat complications.
The prognosis for erythema multiforme is generally good, but it can be challenging to predict the course of the condition. In most cases, the rash will resolve on its own within a few weeks, but in severe cases, the rash may persist or lead to complications. With proper treatment and supportive care, most people with EM can expect a full recovery. However, in rare cases, the condition can progress to more serious complications such as scarring, permanent disfigurement, or organ failure.
Types of Drug Eruptions:
1. Maculopapular exanthema (MPE): This is a common type of drug eruption characterized by flat, red patches on the skin that may be accompanied by small bumps or hives. MPE typically occurs within 1-2 weeks of starting a new medication and resolves once the medication is discontinued.
2. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS): This is a more severe type of drug eruption that can cause blisters, skin sloughing, and mucosal lesions. SJS typically occurs within 2-4 weeks of starting a new medication and can be life-threatening in some cases.
3. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN): This is a severe, life-threatening type of drug eruption that can cause widespread skin death and mucosal lesions. TEN typically occurs within 2-4 weeks of starting a new medication and requires immediate hospitalization and treatment.
Causes of Drug Eruptions:
1. Allergic reactions to medications: This is the most common cause of drug eruptions. The body's immune system overreacts to certain medications, leading to skin symptoms.
2. Adverse effects of medications: Certain medications can cause skin symptoms as a side effect, even if the person is not allergic to them.
3. Infections: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can cause drug eruptions, particularly if the medication is used to treat the infection.
4. Autoimmune disorders: Certain autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, can increase the risk of developing drug eruptions.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Drug Eruptions:
1. Medical history and physical examination: A thorough medical history and physical examination are essential to diagnose a drug eruption. The healthcare provider will look for patterns of skin symptoms that may be related to a specific medication.
2. Skin biopsy: In some cases, a skin biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis of a drug eruption and to rule out other conditions.
3. Medication history: The healthcare provider will ask about all medications taken by the patient, including over-the-counter medications and supplements.
4. Treatment: Depending on the severity of the drug eruption, treatment may include stopping the offending medication, administering corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications, and providing supportive care to manage symptoms such as itching, pain, and infection. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary.
5. Monitoring: Patients with a history of drug eruptions should be closely monitored by their healthcare provider when starting new medications, and any changes in their skin should be reported promptly.
Prevention of Drug Eruptions:
1. Allergy testing: Before starting a new medication, the healthcare provider may perform allergy testing to determine the patient's sensitivity to specific medications.
2. Medication history: The healthcare provider should take a thorough medication history to identify potential allergens and avoid prescribing similar medications that may cause an adverse reaction.
3. Gradual introduction of new medications: When starting a new medication, it is recommended to introduce the medication gradually in small doses to monitor for any signs of an adverse reaction.
4. Monitoring: Patients should be closely monitored when starting new medications, and any changes in their skin or symptoms should be reported promptly to their healthcare provider.
5. Avoiding certain medications: In some cases, it may be necessary to avoid certain medications that are more likely to cause a drug eruption based on the patient's medical history and other factors.
Conclusion:
Drug eruptions can present with various symptoms and can be challenging to diagnose. A thorough medical history and physical examination are essential to diagnose a drug eruption. Treatment depends on the severity of the reaction and may include stopping the offending medication, administering corticosteroids, and providing supportive care. Prevention is key, and healthcare providers should be aware of potential allergens and take steps to minimize the risk of adverse reactions. By being vigilant and proactive, healthcare providers can help prevent drug eruptions and ensure the best possible outcomes for their patients.
Some of the key features of immediate hypersensitivity include:
1. Rapid onset of symptoms: Symptoms typically occur within minutes to hours of exposure to the allergen.
2. IgE antibodies: Immediate hypersensitivity is caused by the binding of IgE antibodies to surface receptors on mast cells and basophils.
3. Mast cell and basophil activation: The activation of mast cells and basophils leads to the release of histamine and other chemical mediators that cause symptoms.
4. Anaphylaxis: Immediate hypersensitivity can progress to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
5. Specificity: Immediate hypersensitivity is specific to a particular allergen and does not occur with other allergens.
6. Cross-reactivity: There may be cross-reactivity between different allergens, leading to similar symptoms.
7. Prevention: Avoidance of the allergen is the primary prevention strategy for immediate hypersensitivity. Medications such as antihistamines and epinephrine can also be used to treat symptoms.
There are several types of eczema, including:
1. Atopic dermatitis: This is the most common type of eczema, and it is often associated with allergies such as hay fever or asthma.
2. Contact dermatitis: This type of eczema is caused by exposure to an allergen or irritant, such as a chemical or detergent.
3. Seborrheic dermatitis: This type of eczema is characterized by redness and flaking on the scalp, face, or body.
4. Neurodermatitis: This type of eczema is caused by chronic itching and scratching, which leads to thickening and darkening of the skin.
5. Pompholyx: This is a type of eczema that occurs on the hands and feet.
The exact cause of eczema is not known, but it is thought to be related to an overactive immune system, allergies, and environmental triggers such as stress, cold weather, and certain foods. Treatment for eczema typically involves a combination of topical medications, oral medications, and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers and moisturizing the skin.
Complications of eczema can include:
1. Infections: Eczema can increase the risk of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, such as impetigo or herpes simplex.
2. Scratching and skin thickening: Chronic itching and scratching can lead to thickening and darkening of the skin, which can be unsightly and painful.
3. Emotional distress: Living with eczema can cause significant emotional distress, including anxiety and depression.
4. Sleep disturbances: Eczema can disrupt sleep patterns and cause fatigue, which can impact daily life and overall well-being.
5. Stigma and social isolation: People with eczema may experience stigma and social isolation due to the visible nature of the condition.
It is important for people with eczema to work closely with their healthcare provider to manage the condition and prevent complications. With appropriate treatment and self-care, many people with eczema are able to manage their symptoms and lead active, fulfilling lives.
There are several types of erythema, including:
1. Erythema migrans (Lyme disease): A rash that occurs due to an infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and is characterized by a red, expanding rash with a central clearing.
2. Erythema multiforme: A condition that causes small, flat or raised red lesions on the skin, often triggered by an allergic reaction to medication or infection.
3. Erythema nodosum: A condition that causes small, painful lumps under the skin, usually due to an allergic reaction to medication or infection.
4. Erythema infectiosum (Fifth disease): A viral infection that causes a red rash on the face, arms, and legs.
5. Erythema annulare centrifugum: A condition that causes a ring-shaped rash with raised borders, often seen in people with autoimmune disorders or taking certain medications.
Treatment for erythema depends on the underlying cause, and may include topical creams or ointments, oral medications, or antibiotics. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual skin changes or symptoms, as some types of erythema can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.
Exanthema is often used interchangeably with the term "rash," but it specifically refers to a type of rash that is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, headache, or joint pain. Exanthematous rashes can be contagious and may require treatment with antiviral or antibacterial medications, depending on the underlying cause.
Some common types of exanthema include:
* Measles: a highly contagious viral infection that causes a characteristic rash and other symptoms such as fever and cough.
* Roseola: a viral infection that causes a high fever followed by a rash.
* Fifth disease: a mild viral infection that causes a rash on the face and body.
* Hand, foot and mouth disease: a viral infection that causes a rash on the hands, feet, and mouth.
It's important to note that exanthema can be a symptom of various conditions, so it's important to seek medical attention if you or your child experiences a rash with other symptoms, especially if it's accompanied by fever, headache, or joint pain. A healthcare professional can diagnose the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
The symptoms of urticaria can vary in severity and may include:
* Appearance of hives or wheals on the skin, often in a patterned or widespread distribution
* Itching or burning sensations on the skin
* Redness, swelling, or warmth of the affected area
* In some cases, angioedema (swelling of the deeper layers of skin)
Urticaria can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
* Allergies to foods, drugs, or insect bites
* Exposure to environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or animal dander
* Infections, such as colds or flu
* Physical stimuli, such as pressure, cold, or heat
* Certain medications, such as antibiotics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
* Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy or menstruation
Urticaria can be diagnosed through a physical examination and medical history, and may require further testing to determine the underlying cause. Treatment for urticaria typically involves avoiding triggers, using antihistamines or corticosteroids to reduce symptoms, and addressing any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the condition. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to manage the symptoms and prevent complications.

- The greatest quality-of-life benefits from patch testing occur in patients with recurrent or chronic allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). (medscape.com)
- Patch testing is most cost-effective and reduces the cost of therapy in patients with severe allergic contact dermatitis. (medscape.com)
- Individuals with suspected allergic contact dermatitis without positive reactions on the TRUE test or with chronic dermatitis or relapsing dermatitis, despite avoiding chemicals to which they are allergic (identified on TRUE test), need additional patch testing. (medscape.com)
- Many individuals have more than 1 contact allergy and may be allergic to 1 or more chemicals found on the TRUE test and on special allergen trays or series. (medscape.com)
- Testing reactions to more allergens increases accuracy of the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis. (medscape.com)
- Allergy skin tests are used to find out which substances cause a person to have an allergic reaction . (medlineplus.gov)
- This test is more likely to be used to find out if you're allergic to bee venom or penicillin. (medlineplus.gov)
- Or it may be used if the skin prick test was negative and the provider still thinks that you're allergic to the allergen. (medlineplus.gov)
- You may have symptoms such as itching, a stuffy nose, red watery eyes, or a skin rash if you're allergic to the substance in the test. (medlineplus.gov)
- Intradermal tests are not used to test for food allergies because of high false-positive results and the danger of causing a severe allergic reaction. (medlineplus.gov)
- In rare cases, a person may have a negative allergy test and still be allergic to the substance. (medlineplus.gov)
- Patients who have a severe allergic reaction but negative skin test responses at 6 weeks or longer after the sting reaction should have further testing (in vitro testing, subsequent skin testing, or both) and baseline testing of serum tryptase. (medscape.com)

Allergens4
- Selection of allergens for testing requires consideration of the patient's history and access to appropriate environmental contactants. (medscape.com)
- If a patient has a large number of positive patch test reactions, retesting the patient sequentially to a small series of these allergens may be necessary to exclude nonspecific false-positive reactions. (medscape.com)
- Test allergens will be taped to your back on (1st visit). (orlandoskindoc.com)
- Several allergens can be tested at the same time. (medlineplus.gov)
Vitro2
- Except in special circumstances, skin tests should be used for initial measurement of venom-specific IgE, rather than in vitro assays. (medscape.com)
- In vitro tests, such as a radioallergosorbent test (RAST), for specific immunoglobulin E are available for food and latex allergy. (medscape.com)
Reaction4
- The syndrome most likely occurs in individuals who have active dermatitis at the time of patch testing or who have a strong positive patch test reaction, both of which may induce local skin hyperreactivity in the area where patches were applied. (medscape.com)
- A positive test reaction will look like a red patch and is sometimes itchy. (orlandoskindoc.com)
- The degree of sensitivity shown by skin and serologic testing for venom-specific IgE does not correlate consistently with the severity of a reaction to a sting. (medscape.com)
- 14. [A severe epicutaneous test reaction to the bufexamac in a hemorrhoidal therapeutic preparation]. (nih.gov)
Dermatitis3
- The method to obtain proof of a possible contact dermatitis is to apply patch tests. (orlandoskindoc.com)
- Patch testing is the gold standard for identifying triggers of contact dermatitis and can be challenging to interpret in skin of color given the need to see erythema , particularly for a 1 + positive interpretation. (bvsalud.org)

Diagnostic tests2
- Many diagnostic tests require blood, but NIBIB-funded researchers have developed a skin patch with tiny needles that painlessly collect interstitial fluid (ISF) for testing. (nih.gov)
- Diagnostic tests can measure trace amounts of essential proteins or hormones in the blood called biomarkers. (nih.gov)
Allergen1
- A negative test result means there were no skin changes in response to the allergen. (medlineplus.gov)

Researchers6
- Researchers think the ISF patch will simplify diagnostic testing and enable the continuous monitoring of biomarkers. (nih.gov)
- The researchers say the patch can speed diagnostic testing, is designed to take less effort than previous methods, and can be produced in mass quantities at low cost. (nih.gov)
- NIH-funded researchers compared giving the vaccine using the skin patch to the usual flu shot. (nih.gov)
- Researchers created a skin patch to deliver a drug that can convert white fat to calorie-burning brown fat. (nih.gov)

- More extensive patch testing is indicated to identify allergies to chemicals not found in the TRUE test. (medscape.com)
- Allergies to penicillin and related medicines are the only drug allergies that can be tested using skin tests. (medlineplus.gov)
- Skin tests for allergies to other drugs can be dangerous. (medlineplus.gov)
- The skin prick test may also be used to diagnose food allergies. (medlineplus.gov)
Exposure1
- While the NTP has made a commitment to assess the health hazards posed by exposure to complex mixtures such as dioxin-like chemicals, AIDS therapies, or asphalt fume (Bucher and Lucier, 1997), testing of a formulation in a chronic bioassay is atypical. (nih.gov)
Needles3
- On the left, a close-up view of the skin patch shows nine tiny needles that collect ISF. (nih.gov)
- The patch is about the size of a dime and has 100 tiny needles that contain flu vaccine. (nih.gov)
- The research team designed a skin patch with 121 cone-shaped polymer needles that can be filled with a drug encapsulated by nanoparticles. (nih.gov)
Maintainer1

Addr1
- Created attachment 25776 [details] bluntly drop overcasting instead of fiddling with gcc's sense of humour While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4 misoptimization of constant_test_bit() when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *' with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading to hang. (kernel.org)
Dermatology1
- Such testing typically is available only in a limited number of dermatology offices and clinics. (medscape.com)
Allergy5
- There are three common methods of allergy skin testing. (medlineplus.gov)
- Allergy medicines can change the results of skin tests. (medlineplus.gov)
- Allergy tests are done to find out which substances are causing your allergy symptoms. (medlineplus.gov)
- People can have a positive response to a substance with allergy skin testing, but not have any problems with that substance in everyday life. (medlineplus.gov)
- These tests can confirm sensitivity and establish the degree of allergy. (medscape.com)
Methods2
Reactions2
- Certain chemicals (eg, neomycin) typically produce delayed positive patch test reactions at 4 days or later following initial application. (medscape.com)
- A tendency exists for elderly patients to manifest positive patch test reactions later than younger patients. (medscape.com)
Config2
- Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined constant_test_bit() and correct jump. (kernel.org)
- When using gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING kernel configuration parameter constant_test_bit() function gets inlined and the unconditional jump in the inner loop goes before condition test as it should. (kernel.org)
Sensitivity1
- For sensitivity to imported fire ants, skin testing is performed with whole-body extracts. (medscape.com)
Severity1
- Besides the BeLPT, several other tests for beryllium sensitization (BeS) or CBD severity have been used, or have been proposed for use. (cdc.gov)
Typically1
- From a toxicological testing perspective, potential hazards in product formulations are typically identified by testing of individual constituents. (nih.gov)
Python1
- Cleber has pulled the Python + Acceptance patches. (nongnu.org)
Chemicals found1
- Sticky patches will be applied to your back that contains different common chemicals found in household end work environments. (orlandoskindoc.com)
Time5
- The Last of Us Part 1's PC version launched in a poor state, but after the release of Patch 1.0.2.0, we though that now was a good time to revisit the game and see how much the game's performance has improved. (overclock3d.net)
- Like last time, we will be testing The Last of Us Part 1 with our standard test rig and with an RTX 4090 graphics card. (overclock3d.net)
- Sadly, The Last of Us Part 1's PC patches do not appear to have shortened the time that this game's Shader Completion step takes, which means that users of CPUs like our Ryzen 5 5600X can wait for up to an hour for this game's shaders to compile. (overclock3d.net)
- Hopefully a future patch will shorten this step's computational time. (overclock3d.net)
- These are the newest WHQL drivers that were available at the time of our testing. (overclock3d.net)
Find2
- path: directory containing test files filePattern: glob pattern to find test modules inside path. (python.org)
- The last trick is having the tests find TestInit.pm. (perl.org)
Volunteers2
- The pharmacokinetics of Flector® Patch has been tested in healthy volunteers at rest or undergoing moderate exercise (cycling 20 min/h for 12 h at a mean HR of 100.3 bpm). (nih.gov)
- One hundred and eight healthy adult volunteers were evaluated for primary irritation and hypersensitivity following application under a double-blind paradigm of eight leading prescription dermatologic products and the vehicle cream of one product according to an intensified version of the Shelanski and Shelanski "Repeated Insult Patch Test. (nih.gov)
Sensitization1
- However, beryllium patch testing fell out of favor, in part because of a potential risk of inducing sensitization and a theoretical risk of aggravating underlying disease. (cdc.gov)
Amounts1
- In the new test, a unique paper on the patch's backing stores small amounts ISF, where it remains for analysis. (nih.gov)
Avoid2
- Your provider will tell you which medicines to avoid and when to stop taking them before the test. (medlineplus.gov)
- Your provider will consider your symptoms and the results of your skin test to suggest lifestyle changes you can make to avoid substances that may be causing your symptoms. (medlineplus.gov)
Exercise2
- The exercise capacity test reveals gas exchange or ventilatory abnormalities, including an elevation in the dead space-to-tidal volume ratio, in most patients with CBD. (cdc.gov)
- 2001). For many patients with CBD, results of resting pulmonary function tests, including spirometry values, lung volumes, and carbon monoxide-diffusing capacity (DLCO), are normal but resting and exercise arterial blood gas levels indicate hypoxemia. (cdc.gov)
Chronic1
- Assessment of this hazard can best be achieved by the testing of metal working fluid formulations in a chronic inhalation bioassay. (nih.gov)
Patients3
- Do not perform patch testing on patients taking more than 15 mg/d of prednisone. (medscape.com)
- Given the paucity of clinical images of skin of color in the literature , we provide images of two pediatric patients presenting with positive patch tests to demonstrate an approach to the clinical interpretation of patch testing in patients with more melanin in the skin . (bvsalud.org)
- Efficacy of Flector® Patch was demonstrated in two of four studies of patients with minor sprains, strains, and contusions. (nih.gov)
Work4
- Default is test*.py The path will be converted into an import statement so anything that can not be imported will not work. (python.org)
- so I think it would be good to have someone who feels at least a little bit responsible to do the maintainers work here and picks up patches to put them into a pull request. (nongnu.org)
- A new study shows that a special skin patch may work as well as a shot with a hypodermic needle. (nih.gov)
- The patch seemed to work as well as the shot. (nih.gov)
Hazard1
- Manufactures Association (ILMA) indicates that many or most constituents are high production volume chemicals (HPV - more then 1 million pounds produced per annum) and hazard assessments of inadequately tested chemicals are being addressed though industry sponsorship of EPA's HPV challenge. (nih.gov)
Identify1
- identify other tests that can assist with diagnosis of beryllium-related diseases. (cdc.gov)
Requires1
- Patch Testing requires 3 office visits in one week. (orlandoskindoc.com)
Special1
- The ISF is attracted to the special paper on the patch. (nih.gov)
Prednisone1
- You must be off oral cortisone (prednisone) for at least 2 weeks prior to this test. (orlandoskindoc.com)
Result1
- Itching is an indication of a positive response and scratching might alter the test result. (orlandoskindoc.com)
Size1
- With patch 1.0.1.5, Naughty Dog promised lower VRAM use by lowering the size of The Last of Us Part 1's shader cache, which means that we expect VRAM usage to drop. (overclock3d.net)
Skin tests2
- Skin tests may cause very mild discomfort when the skin is pricked. (medlineplus.gov)
- Skin tests are usually accurate. (medlineplus.gov)
Files1
- To simply load all the test files of the current directories, pass an empty path (the default). (python.org)
Days2
Simple3
- This makes the operation of adding or removing tests very simple. (python.org)
- The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of the module loading and verification interface. (lkml.org)
- So a very simple solution is to link/copy perl-src/t/TestInit.pm to perl-src/TestInit.pm as part of test_prep and minitest. (perl.org)
