Predominantly antibody deficiencies (PADs) are the most common type of primary immunodeficiency in adults. PADs frequently pass undetected leading to delayed diagnosis, treatment, and potential for end-organ damage including bronchiectasis. In addition, accompanied by comorbid autoimmune disease, an increased risk malignancy. To characterize diagnostic clinical features adult PAD patients Victoria, Australia. We identified receiving, or having previously received immunoglobulin replacement...
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, among these, vespid genera induce sting (SSR). Honey bees second leading SSR. Depending on global region, other Hymenoptera such as different ant responsible for Widely distributed hornets bumblebees or local bee rarely Hematophagous insects mosquitoes horse flies usually (large) while SSR...
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the and paranasal tissues, characterized by presence bilateral polyps. An expert panel specialists from Asian-Pacific region Russia was convened to develop regional guidance on management CRSwNP through consensus approach. The present article presents chief observations recommendations this provide for clinicians in these areas. Etiology pathogenetic mechanisms are heterogeneous complex. In many...

Background Early diagnosis of HIV infection reduces morbidity and mortality associated with late presentation. Despite UK guidelines, the testing rate has not increased. We have introduced universal screening in an open‐access returning traveller clinic. Methods Data were prospectively recorded for all patients attending clinic between A ugust 2008 D ecember 2010. was offered to from M ay 2009; initially laboratory samples (phase 1) subsequently a point‐of‐care test ( POCT ) 2).

Background Insect Stings with the venoms of Hymenoptera species are well recognized as leading directly to allergic reactions in sensitised individuals. As other hymenoptera – Venom specific allergen Immunotherapy (VIT) Jack Jumper Ants (JJA) Myrmecia pilosula has demonstrated efficacy preventing direct morbidity associated severe venom-associated reactions. Despite this, indirect allergy on background health related quality life (HR-QoL) not previously been assessed patients JJA venom...
Conclusion:Our audit showed documentation of antibiotic allergies was frequently incomplete and inconsistent.There a relatively high incidence culprit antibiotics being prescribed administered.These findings reflect the consequences risk that arise from poor understanding drug allergy amongst general medical staff demonstrates need for increased education standardised practices all hospital staff.
