Researchers at Children's Discover Connection between Allergic Diseases and Autoimmune Diseases
A new study by researchers at Children's and the University of Washington (UW) identifies a connection between allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, and autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-04-04)
The road to allergy
A UK scientist has discovered the route and type of transport taken by peanut proteins through the gut to the immune system. This route favours an immune response, which helps explain why peanuts are one of the most allergenic foods. view more (2004-11-18)
Allergy expert has advice for flood victims
As if the emotional and financial impact of flood damage isn't bad enough, floodwaters can also bring health problems. H. James Wedner, M.D., professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, says after the water recedes, damp homes and businesses are fertile grounds... view more...

Early exposure to other children lowers adult risk of hay fever but increases risk of asthma
Children who live with several siblings or who go to nurseries have less hay fever, but more asthma as adults, suggests a large international study in Thorax. The findings are based on interviews with over 18,500 adults aged 20 to 44 from 36 countries in Europe, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Blood samples were also taken from over 13,000... view more... (2002-10-25)
New study identifies kiwi fruit as 'significant allergen'
A new University of Southampton study concludes that kiwi fruit appears to be a significant food allergen capable of causing severe reactions, particularly in young children with other allergic reactions. The study, which was funded by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), highlights the increasing incidence of allergic reaction to the popular tropical... view more... (2004-07-06)
Children with peanut allergy worry more about their condition than children with diabetes
Research at the University of Southampton suggests children with peanut allergy have a worse quality of life that those living with diabetes, and that they worry more about the potentially life threatening implications of their condition. In a study involving 40 nine and ten years old, half with peanut allergy, half with insulin-dependent diabetes... view more... (2003-11-05)
House dust may protect against allergic disease early in life
Endotoxin, a toxic substance made by certain types of bacteria, may reduce the risk of developing the allergic skin condition eczema or wheezing in children if they are exposed to it up to age 3. view more (2007-05-21)
Tobacco Smoke Linked to Allergic Rhinitis in Infants
University of Cincinnati (UC) epidemiologists say it's environmental tobacco smoke-not the suspected visible mold-that drastically increases an infant's risk for developing allergic rhinitis by age 1. view more (2006-05-18)
Cannabinoids produced in the human body have an anti-inflammatory effect
Endocannabinoids seem to play an important role in regulating inflammation processes. Scientists from the University of Bonn have discovered this in experiments on mice. view more (2007-06-08)
Hot Clues To A Cool Nose
In an attack of hay fever, the temperature of the nose rises. Effective medication prevents this too. An infrared camera provides non-contact images of the changes. Researchers can use these images to determine how reliable and effective anti-allergic agents are. When summer comes, it brings with it severe sneezing attacks and itching eyes. People... view more... (2004-07-08)
Taking The Sting Out Of Ant Stings (pp979, 1001)
Australian authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how immunisation to desensitise people to the venom of the jack jumper ant shows great promise for preventing severe systemic reactions in people allergic to this venom. The jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula) is responsible for about 90% of severe systemic reactions to... view more... (2003-03-20)
Anti-allergic mattress covers have no clinical benefit in patients with moderate to severe asthma
The use of anti-allergic mattress covers shows no clinical improvement in patients with moderate to severe asthma, who already use regular treatment. However, they do reduce the exposition of house dust mite during the night, shows research in Thorax. Thirty non-smoking patients with asthma and house dust mite allergy were included in the study.... view more... (2002-08-27)
Evidence of estrogen and progesterone hormone allergy has been discovered by Texas researchers
Some women with menstrual cycle disorders like asthma and migraine headaches may be experiencing allergies to their own estrogen and progesterone hormones, Texas researchers have discovered. view more (2006-03-31)
Preventing allergies
Allergic diseases are becoming increasingly common in Western industrialized countries. As there is still no etiologically based treatment of allergic asthma, hay fever, or atopic eczema, the prevention of these diseases is a matter of special importance. view more (2009-10-07)
Road pollution blamed for higher allergy risk in kids
New evidence blames traffic-related pollution for increasing the risk of allergy and atopic diseases among children by more than fifty percent. What's more, the closer children live to roads, the higher their risk. view more (2008-06-13)
UT Southwestern allergist offers coping strategies
The good news for allergy sufferers is that springtime mountain cedars and tree pollens have generally subsided. The bad news: It's summertime. view more (2006-06-14)
Potential New Therapeutic Target for Asthma, Allergies and Cancer
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have identified how a bioactive molecule involved with allergy, inflammation and cancer is transported out of mast cells, according to findings published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-10-18)
Bleach Found to Neutralize Mold Allergens
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have demonstrated that dilute bleach not only kills common household mold, but may also neutralize the mold allergens that cause most mold-related health complaints. view more (2005-09-26)
Researchers demonstrate potential mechanism of food allergy
Researchers have identified one of the proteins that may be responsible for causing food allergies, which could lead to the development of more accurate non-invasive tests to identify true food allergies. view more (2006-07-24)
Protein a possible key to allergy and asthma control
Activating a protein found on some immune cells seems to halt the cells' typical job of spewing out substances that launch allergic reactions, a study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. The findings could eventually lead to new treatments for allergic reactions ranging from annoying bouts of hay fever to deadly asthma attacks. view more (2008-01-03)
