Abstract
Introduction and importance Nowadays, improving the performance of employees is essential to increase productivity and achieve continuous improvement; therefore, it is necessary to achieve job satisfaction among all members of the organisation to avoid negative attitudes, professional burnout, health problems and a lack of commitment. Therefore, our objective was to determine the level of burnout and its relationship with the level of job satisfaction among employees in the municipalities of southern Lima. Methods The research is basic research, with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional, nonexperimental, correlational design. The survey technique was used and the data collection instrument was a questionnaire addressed to 271 workers of the municipalities of South Lima on the variable burnout syndrome with the dimensions depersonalisation and emotional exhaustion, as well as on the variable job satisfaction with the dimensions work benefits, administrative policies and social relations, with a Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.801. Results The results show that 50.2% of the employees state that they have an overload of mental effort that causes a high level of emotional exhaustion, 50.2% state that the work develops in them negative and insensitive attitudes that increase their level of depersonalisation and 77.9% state that the company is unable to satisfy the personal demands of the employees through the work benefits it offers. Conclusions These findings reflect that burnout is a common illness in organisations due to workload, poor organisational climate and neglect of employees' emotional health. Therefore, more research is needed on the role of organisations in reducing levels of occupational burnout in order to promote improvements in mental health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze component resolved diagnosis to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) in patients with respiratory allergy and its relationship with clinical severity in different geographical areas. METHODS 217 patients (mean age 25.85±12.7 years; 51.16% females) were included, selected from 13 centers in Portugal (5 from North, n=65). All had allergic rhinitis, with or without asthma, and had positive skin prick tests to at least one dust mite. Specific IgE (sIgE) to Der p, Dermatophagoides farinae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Der p1, Der p 2, Der p 10 and Der p 23 were determined by ImmunoCAP. Statistical analysis (Mann Whitney U test) compared patients with rhinitis vs rhinitis and asthma; mild vsmoderate-to-severe rhinitis; North vs South. RESULTS Prevalence of sensitization was 98.2% to Der p, and 72.4%, 89.4%, 9.7% and 77% to Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 10 and Der p 23, respectively. Corresponding median sIgE levelswere 8.56, 17.7, 0.01 and 3.95 kUA/L. sIgE to all allergens was higher in patients with moderate-to-severe rhinitis and rhinitis with asthma but not statistically significant (NSS). sIgE to Der p 2 was significantly higher in the South when compared with the North (p=0.0496). CONCLUSIONS sensitization to Der p is the most common in Portugal. Der p 2 had the highest prevalence and median sIgE levels. All sIgE to molecular components were higher in more symptomatic patients (NSS). sIgE to Der p 2 was higher in the South, which may be related to the warmer temperature and/or the larger sample size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mites are the most prevalent source of indoor allergens. The present study used a component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) approach to investigate the mite-specific IgE sensitization profile for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Blomia tropicalis. We also assessed the performance of a commercially available CRD approach in patients with severe allergic rhinitis. METHODS We selected 63 consecutive patients with dual sensitization to D pteronyssinus and B tropicalis and persistent severe rhinitis according to the ARIA guidelines. We performed skin prick tests with standardized extracts and determined specific serum IgE to both mites, along with serum specific IgE to Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 23, Der p 10, and Blo t 5. RESULTS Fifty-eight and 59 patients had positive sIgE to the whole extracts of D pteronyssinus and B tropicalis, respectively. While 91.67% of patients were sensitized to specific IgE to Der p 1, Der p 2, and/or Der p 23, specific IgE to Blo t 5 (≥0.3 ISU-E) was not detected in most of the serum samples (55%). CONCLUSIONS Although the combination panel of the commercially available major allergens Der p 1, Der p 2, and Der p 23 identified more than 90% of the D pteronyssinus-allergic patients, Blo t 5 performed somewhat poorly in those sensitized to B tropicalis. Improvements in CRD and further research concerning the prevalence and clinical relevance of serodominant allergens are needed to achieve a genuine molecular diagnosis, as well as patient-centered mite allergy-specific immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no studies on cross-reactivity between Salsola kali and Salsola imbricata pollens. The main goals of the present study were to compare the degree of the cross-reactivity between S kali and S imbricata and to compare the various allergenic components shared by S kali and S imbricata. METHODS erum samples were obtained from rhinitis patients with or without asthma living in Kuwait and presenting with a positive skin test result to S kali. SDS-PAGE/IgE Western blot and ELISA inhibition assay were performed. RESULTS The study population comprised 37 patients. The most frequent IgE proteins against S imbricata weighed around 12, 15, 18, 37, and 50+55 kDa. 2D electrophoresis revealed a correlation between S kali and S imbricata at 40, 60, and 75 kDa, with similar isoelectric points. ELISA inhibition revealed an Ag50 value of 1.7 μg/mL for S kali and 500.5 μg/mL for S imbricata when the solid phase was S kali and an Ag50 value of 1.4 μg/mL for S kali and 3.0 μg/mL for S imbricata when the solid phase was S imbricata. CONCLUSIONS ELISA inhibition revealed strong cross-reactivity between S kali and S imbricata. This finding might be clinically relevant for the efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy. We report, for the first time, the allergenic profile of S imbricata and potentially allergenic proteins for S kali and S imbricata.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been an increase in the prevalence of hypersensitivity to Anisakis simplex. There are fish parasites other than Anisakis simplex whose allergenicity has not yet been studied. OBJECTIVE To assess IgE hypersensitivity caused by fish parasite allergens in patients with gastro-allergic symptoms after consumption of fish, shellfish or cephalopods, compared with healthy subjects, pollen allergic individuals and children with digestive symptoms after eating marine food. METHODS We carried out in vivo tests (skin prick) and in vitro tests (specific IgE determination, Western blot) and component resolved diagnostics (CRD) using microarray analysis in all patients. RESULTS CRD better detected sensitisation to allergens from marine parasites than skin prick tests and determination of specific IgE by CAP. Sensitisation to Gymnorhynchus gigas was detected in 26% of patients measured by skin prick tests and 36% measured by IgE. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of hypersensitivity to marine parasite allergens other than Anisakis simplex should be studied, and the most appropriate technique for this is CRD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amoxicillin (AX) is the ß-lactam most often involved in IgE-mediated reactions. Diagnosis is based mainly on skin testing, although sensitivity is not optimal. We produced a new AX derivative, amoxicilloyl-poly-L-lysine (APL), and analyzed its recognition of IgE using the passive histamine release test (pHRT). METHODS The study population comprised patients (n=19) with confirmed AX allergy and specific IgE to AX and controls (n=10) with good tolerance to AX. pHRT was performed using "IgE-stripped" blood from a single donor that was sensitized in vitro by patient sera and incubated with AX or APL. Histamine release was determined and expressed as nanograms of histamine released per milliliter of blood. RESULTS The clinical symptoms were anaphylaxis (n=9), urticaria (n=7), erythema (n=2), and nondefined immediate reactions (n=1). The median (IQR) time interval between reaction and study was 90 (60-240) days and between drug intake and development of symptoms 24 (10-60) minutes. The median sIgE level was 3.37 (0.95-5.89) kUA/L. The sensitivity of pHRT to APL was 79% and the specificity 100%, which were higher than data obtained with pHRT to AX (63% sensitivity and 90% specificity). There was a positive correlation between maximal histamine release levels obtained with AX and APL (r=0.63). CONCLUSIONS In patients with immediate hypersensitivity reactions to AX, APL showed higher sensitivity and specificity than the culprit drug, AX, when tested in vitro by pHRT. This indicates that APL can improve the in vitro diagnostic accuracy of allergic reactions to AX. Further assessment of skin testing is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heroin and its contaminants may be an important source of allergens in young people. We present a case of severe endophthalmitis in a patient that also suffered from anaphylactoid symptoms (hypotension, urticaria, glottic oedema) whenever he ingested lemon. METHODS Prick tests with a battery of 42 aeroallergens including fruits and citrus fruits (orange, mandarin, grapefruit and lemon) and specific IgE to these allergens were carried out. Immunodetection was performed using the patient's serum and the following allergens: lemon, Candida, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria recombinant Alt 1 (Laboratories Diater). RESULTS Skin tests were negative for Candida, Penicillium, Aspergillus and Cladosporium (ALK-Spain) as were specific IgE antibodies for CAP (Thermofisher, Sweden) and positive only for lemon and, doubtfully, to Candida. Specific IgE tests to pollen, arthropods, fungi, dander and foods were positive only for lemon (0.49kU/L). Serological study of fungi ruled out fungal infection at that time. The immunodetection showed that the patient's serum recognised a protein of approximately 25kDa of lemon peel, one of approximately 12-13kDa of Penicillium, and perfectly recognised Alt a 1. CONCLUSIONS Lemon surface can be contaminated by Candida and other fungi. In heroin addicts with positive skin tests for lemon, the possibility of these serious complications should be taken into account.

Abstract
BACKGORUND Food allergy is a rare disorder among breastfeeding babies. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to identify responsible allergens in human milk. METHODS We studied babies developing allergic symptoms at the time they were breastfeeding. Skin prick tests (SPT) were performed with breast milk and food allergens. Specific IgE was assessed and IgE Immunoblotting experiments with breast milk were carried out to identify food allergens. Clinical evolution was evaluated after a maternal free diet. RESULTS Five babies had confirmed breast milk allergy. Peanut, white egg and/or cow's milk were demonstrated as the hidden responsible allergens. No baby returned to develop symptoms once mother started a free diet. Three of these babies showed tolerance to other food allergens identified in human milk. CONCLUSION A maternal free diet should be recommended only if food allergy is confirmed in breastfed babies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fish is a potent food allergen. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that dogfish, a small shark, has low allergenicity in both its clinical tolerance as well as its molecular structure. METHODS We present a study of 34 paediatric patients with IgE-mediated immediate reactions after eating fish. The diagnosis of several fish allergies was demonstrated by skin prick techniques and determination of specific IgE, in all the cases excluding sensitisation to Anisakis simplex. Open oral challenge test was checked with dogfish. Analysis was by SDS-PAGE of dogfish and other fish (megrim, shark, hake, sole, cod, anchovy and tuna) and Western-blot with "pool" of patients polysensitised sera against extracts of dogfish and other fish, and ELISA - inhibition with the "pool" sera. RESULTS The prick-prick with raw dogfish was slightly positive in six patients, however cooked was negative in 34 cases. The specific IgE showed in the 34 cases class ≥2 for megrim, hake, sole, cod and anchovy, class 0 for tuna in 26 patients, class 0 for emperor in 18 patients and class 0 to Anisakis simplex in all cases. The IgE binding capacity for proteins of allergenic extracts of tested fish revealed, in immunoblotting, the absence of IgE-mediated recognition abstract dogfish by the "pool" of polysensitised patient sera. CONCLUSIONS Testing in vivo and in vitro demonstrated the low allergenicity of dogfish. Dogfish brings an alternative to eating fish in polysensitised patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is a long-term treatment of respiratory allergy. OBJECTIVE To look for early predictors of the effectiveness of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus SIT. METHODS A prospective multi-centre study was carried out in Spain. Children with D. pteronyssinus rhinitis or asthma were invited to participate. The study was divided into times: T0 (recruitment); T1 (inclusion); T2 a-f (immunotherapy times) and T3 (the end of study). Efficacy of SIT was assessed by clinical scores, visual analogue scales (VAS) and lung function tests. We performed D. pteronyssinus skin tests at T1 and T3, and determined specific serum IgE, IgG4 and IL-10 at T1, T2f and T3. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, compared using Wilcoxon and Chi-square tests, and correlated to Spearman test. All tests had a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS Thirty-eight children completed the study. At T1 all had rhinitis and 34 also had asthma. At T3, 30 patients had improved, six experienced no changes and two worsened. Improvement was associated to FEV1/FVC and VAS improvement; to a reduction in D. pteronyssinus skin prick test; to a progressive increase in serum levels of D. pteronyssinus IgE, and D. pteronyssinus, Der p1 and Der p2 IgG4. IL-10 levels showed an early increase at T2f (the end of initial build-up immunotherapy phase), and then a reduction at T3 (the end of a year of immunotherapy). Improvement associated to an early increase in IL-10 and was correlated with VAS and specific IgG4 evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have observed that some cases of food anaphylaxis were followed by severe thrombosis associated to anticardiolipin antibodies. Food anaphylaxis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome has seldom been published. OBJECTIVE The aims were: 1) to test anticardiolipin antibodies in an important number of patients with anaphylaxis due to vegetal foods and their relationship with possible thrombosis; and 2) to study seed and fruit hypersensitivity in patients with previous thrombotic events associated with antiphospholipid antibodies (aCL). METHODS We included 30 patients diagnosed of thrombosis associated with aCL, 52 patients who suffered from anaphylaxis due to seeds or fruits, and 120 control patients. Haematological, cardiopulmonary vascular and rheumatologic studies had been performed as needed. In vivo and in vitro allergy tests with a large battery of vegetal allergens were carried out in all the patients. Measurement of IgG aCL antibodies and specific IgE to vegetal food was done by ELISA and CAP-FEIA (Phadia). Immunodetection and inhibitions with lipoproteins belonging to seeds were performed. RESULTS Seventy-five percent of the patients diagnosed as having antiphospholipid primary syndrome had specific IgE against different proteins from different vegetable allergens, most of them seeds, and clearly against lipoproteins that were also recognised by the patients with food anaphylaxis but not by the control cases. Among the patients with anaphylaxis, 28% had anticardiolipin antibodies and 17.3% thrombosis. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that seed lipoproteins which cause severe food anaphylaxis might have a potential role in the antiphospholipid syndrome and related thrombosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergy results from an atypical response of the mucosal immune system to orally consumed allergens. Antacid medication inhibits the digestion of dietary proteins and causes food allergy. A decrease of the gastric pH might enhance the function of digestion and reduce the risk of food allergy. OBJECTIVE To test a possible decrease in the allergenicity of powerful food allergens (egg, chicken, lentils) with the addition of vinegar during the cooking process. METHODS We included seven patients who suffered from anaphylaxis due to egg, chicken and lentils. We added vinegar to egg, chicken and lentil processed extracts used for skin prick tests (SPT) and compared the wheal areas obtained with the same extracts sources and the same way but without vinegar addition. Immunodetection was performed with the different processed extracts and patients' sera. Only one patient consented food challenge with vinegar-marinated-chicken. RESULTS Wheal areas were significantly minor with the food extract with vinegar. Immunodetection showed a decrease of the response with vinegar processed extracts. CONCLUSIONS Vinegar addition during the cooking process may decrease lentil and chicken allergenicity.

Abstract
In Spain, peanut allergy is increasingly prevalent. Successful protocols for the induction of oral tolerance (LOT) with several foods have been reported. We aimed to induce clinical tolerance to peanut in a child with severe peanut allergy (age 4 years, facial urticaria and lip angioedema upon licking a peanut; peanut skin prick test, 13 x 10 mm; specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E > 100 kUA/L). At age 6, the threshold oral challenge dose was 62.5 mg. Several peanut solutions were prepared and sequentially administered at the patient's home. Over 138 days, the dose was increased from 0.625 to 5500 mg. There were 43 mild-to-moderate reactions (28% of the doses administered). Pre-LOT and post-LOT peanut IgE and IgG4 values were 265 vs 487 kUA/L, and 6.11 vs 14.8 mg/L. This is the first report of successful LOT to peanut in Spain. This home-based regimen is safe under permanent and close medical supervision by an allergist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lepisma saccharina (silverfish) is a common insect which is often found in human dwellings. Our aim was to determine the IgE antibody pattern to this arthropod in children with allergic respiratory symptoms. METHODS The individual sera and a pool of selected sera of 45 children with asthma and/or rhinitis were used for an immunoblotting test with an extract of Lepisma saccharina; an immunoblotting inhibition test was performed with extracts of L. saccharina, D. pteronyssinus and cockroach. RESULTS Between one and ten IgE binding bands were found in the sera of patients. The immunoblotting pattern was clearly different from that of D. pteronyssinus. Inhibition was found with D. pteronys-sinus and cockroach, which proves cross-reactivity between extracts. CONCLUSION Allergenicity of Lepisma is demonstrated through in vitro tests. A pathogenic role still remains to be proved, but it should be considered in respiratory allergy, due to primary sensitisation to Lepisma, or to cross-reactivity with other indoor allergens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Birch pollen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) decreases allergy to foods containing birch pollen-homologous allergens. Cross-reactivity was also observed between plane tree pollen and some vegetable foods. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outgrowing of food allergy by patients suffering from vegetable food allergy associated with plane tree pollinosis (rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma) during plane tree pollen SIT. METHODS An observational and prospective study was conducted in 16 adult patients suffering from vegetable food allergy (hazelnut, walnut, lettuce, peach and cherry) and from plane tree pollinosis receiving plane tree pollen SIT for 1 year. Open oral challenges with the implicated food were performed before and after SIT. Blood samples were drawn for measurement of pollen- and food-specific IgE and IgG4 before and after treatment. RESULTS Plane tree SIT resulted in a significant decrease in food allergy, since the mean food quantity provoking objective symptoms increased from 2.19 to 13.74 g (p < 0.05), and 6 of the 11 patients tolerated the highest level (25 g) of the challenged food after plane tree SIT. Laboratory data also showed a decrease in IgE levels and an increase in IgG4 levels after immunotherapy. CONCLUSION SIT with plane tree pollen has a positive impact on food allergy in plane tree pollen-allergic subjects.
