Be a control freak: Allergists outline new focus for asthmatics
A Mayo Clinic allergist and colleagues representing the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology announce they are revising the old classification of asthma patients by disease severity to determine treatment and moving to a new expectation for all asthma patients. view more (2005-10-25)
Allergy battle could be won in five years, says scientist
Researchers, working with colleagues at St George's, University of London, are developing drugs designed to stop allergens from entering the body, so rendering them harmless. view more (2006-07-13)
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)
Blocked gene may provide new treatment for allergies
Allergic reactions like hay fever can recur over long periods since the allergenic mast cells survive and revive. A team of Uppsala scientists have now identified the mast cell's survival gene, and by blocking this gene, they can inhibit allergic reactions, opening new avenues for treatment. These findings have been published in Monday's issue... view more... (2001-12-05)
Students with food allergies often not prepared
College students with food allergies aren't avoiding the foods they know they shouldn't eat. Students of all ages are not treated with potentially life-saving epinephrine as often as they should be.

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)
Possible biological explanation for C-Section-linked allergies and asthma found
Scientists believe they may have identified a biological explanation for the link between cesarean-section delivery and risk of allergy and asthma in childhood. view more (2008-05-21)
A site for sore eyes: New target for allergies found under the eyelid
Scientists have found a protein in the eye which plays a critical role in how an allergic response develops over a 24-hour period. The University College London (UCL) team hope their discovery will pave the way for new treatments for allergic diseases such as asthma, eczema and hay fever. view more (2005-01-11)

'High efficiency' vacuum cleaners no better at protecting against dust mites
Researchers at the North West Lung Centre, run by The University of Manchester and based at Wythenshawe Hospital, have discovered that vacuum cleaners with 'high-efficiency particulate air' or HEPA filters are no more effective than standard models at reducing exposure to dust-mites. view more (2006-02-14)
Drinking milk to ease milk allergy?
Giving children with milk allergies increasingly higher doses of milk over time may ease, and even help them completely overcome, their allergic reactions, according to the results of a study led by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center and conducted jointly with Duke University. view more (2008-10-31)
Dental Material Amalgam Is Not Guilty Of Disturbances
A careful study by a group of investigators of the University of Giessen suggests that there is no indication for mercury intoxication or amalgam allergy as a cause of somatic complaints. To deepen the understanding of the numerous unspecific complaints which are related to the dental material amalgam both in patients and physicians, an... view more... (2002-08-05)
Eczema in children is increasing, but diet is not the cause
The number of children who have eczema has risen - one in five children are now affected by this skin condition, which is often associated with an allergy. Researchers are not yet sure what is causing this growing problem. view more (2009-03-23)

Milk is safe, even encouraged, for some children after treatment for milk allergy
Some children with a history of severe milk allergy can safely drink milk and consume other dairy products every day, according to research led by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center and published in the Aug. 10 online edition of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. view more (2009-08-19)
Study of malaria parasites reveals new parasitic states
A team led by scientists at MIT and Harvard University and supported in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a component of the National Institutes of Health, collected blood samples from 43 P. falciparum-infected malaria patients in Senegal who were suffering from a range of malaria symptoms. view more (2007-11-29)
