Abstract
Immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) are a burden for patients and the health systems. This problem increases when taking into account that only a small proportion of patients initially labelled as allergic are finally confirmed after an allergological workup. The diverse nature of drugs involved will imply different interactions with the immunological system. Therefore, IDHRs can be produced by a wide array of mechanisms mediated by the drug interaction with specific antibodies or directly on effector target cells. These heterogeneous mechanisms imply an enhanced complexity for an accurate diagnosis and the identification of the phenotype and endotype at early stages of the reaction is of vital importance. Currently, several endophenotypic categories (type I IgE/non-IgE, cytokine release, Mast-related G-protein coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) or Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition and their associated biomarkers have been proposed. A precise knowledge of endotypes will permit to discriminate patients within the same phenotype, which is crucial in order to personalise diagnosis, future treatment and prevention to improve the patient's quality of life.

Clin Transl Allergy 2022; 12:e12139. [PMID: 35344294 PMCID: PMC8967263 DOI: 10.1002/clt2.12139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although immunoglobulin E (IgE) increases significantly in tears and serum during seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), it is unclear whether tear total IgE can reflect the severity and prognosis of SAC more accurately than serum total IgE. We aimed to investigate the usefulness of measuring the total IgE in tears to evaluate the severity and determine the treatment of SAC. Methods This prospective, nonrandomized study involved 55 patients with SAC and 10 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls. Serum and tears were collected before and after treatment to analyze the total IgE. SAC patients received the same topical anti‐allergy treatment and were followed‐up every 2 weeks for 1 month. The relationship of tear and serum total IgE concentrations with pollen concentrations and symptom severity before and after treatment was assessed. Results The total IgE concentration in tears was higher in SAC patients than in healthy participants with significant correlations between tear and serum total IgE concentrations. The total IgE concentration in tears, but not in serum, correlated with the pollen concentration and severity of ocular symptoms and reactions in SAC. Treatment‐associated improvements in symptoms and reactions in SAC correlated with decreased concentrations of the tear total IgE. Patients with disease recurrence following treatment demonstrated significantly higher tear total IgE concentrations than patients with no recurrence. Conclusion The total tear IgE level can indicate the severity and predict the prognosis of SAC more accurately than the serum total IgE.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the most recent literature studying the classifications, immunochemistry, and crossreactivity of allergy reactions to cephalosporins. RECENT FINDINGS Over the last five years, research interest has focused on three areas related to cephalosporin allergy: cross-reactivity among cephalosporins and with other beta-lactams; the incidence of adverse reactions in penicillin allergy patients or in reported penicillin allergy labels; and new cephalosporins structures involved in the immunological recognition. SUMMARY Meta-analysis of a substantial number of studies shows that cephalosporins are safer than previously thought. Evidence supports two main conclusions in that regard. First, there is a relatively low percentage of cross-reactivity between cephalosporins and other beta-lactams with penicillins in penicillin allergy patients. Second, there is a very low incidence of allergy reactions in nonselected as well as in selected penicillin allergy patients when cephalosporins are used prior to surgical intervention.On the other hand, few structures have been discovered related to the immune mechanism of cephalosporin allergy reactions, and these are far from being ready to use in clinical practice.
