COVID-19 vaccination has been a key intervention in reducing the severity of symptoms; however, concerns about vaccine safety, particularly regarding allergic reactions, arose early on. Healthcare workers faced challenge addressing these to ensure safe administration. This study aimed review practical aspects using allergy skin testing for excipients patients with history reactions developed following mRNA vaccination. A retrospective chart was conducted who reported after and underwent...
Pollen is a major cause of allergic respiratory diseases. In Qatar, data on the presence and prevalence allergenic airborne types pollen quite limited.The study aimed to determine correlate most frequently implicated detected by aerobiological monitoring samplers in allergy symptoms. An survey was started May 8, 2017. Airborne collected using two Hirst type seven-day recorder volumetric traps. Skin prick test patients attending clinics Doha commercial extracts conducted.Twenty-five...
Background Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic disease that may lead to death if not immediately recognized and treated. Triggers of anaphylaxis including food, drugs, insect stings can vary widely. The incidence seems be affected by age, sex, atopy, geographic location. This study aims examine the common triggers in Qatar.Methods A total 1068 electronic medical records were audited using power chart system: 446 from coding system 622 epinephrine auto-injectors (EAIs) dispensed during January...
Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is one of the severe allergic reactions in which symptoms develop only if exercise takes place within a few hours eating specific food. It important to consider FDEIA cases unexplained as can occur several after ingesting culprit food(s). We herein report first two Middle East. The induced by wheat, while other peanut. pathophysiology, predisposing factors, diagnosis, and treatment are also summarized here.
Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a rare disorder in which occurs exclusively after physical activity. Here, we report case of severe EIA where was initially only induced by strenuous exercise. Suddenly the got out control to degree that usual daily activities triggered it. Exposure hot and humid environment appeared be cofactor for development symptoms resistant preventive measures. Treatment with omalizumab (anti-IgE) initiated resulted marked improvement. We discuss unique aspects...
Background: Hemoptysis is an alarming symptom in clinical practice. We reviewed ten years of experience with hemoptysis a tertiary hospital Qatar to identify etiologies, patient characteristics, and associated factors. Methods: was defined based on severity as mild ( < 50 ml or streaks blood), moderate (50-150 ml) massive (>150 the 24 hours before admission. Hemodynamically unstable considered when systolic BP 100 mmHg,tachycardia HR>110/min, tachypnea RR>22/min, SpO2 92% room air. Results:...
While crucial to the assessment and improvement of asthma control, insights on treatment practices in patients with severe diseases across Gulf nations are lacking. This observational study describes patterns adolescents adults four countries region evaluates current levels control; quality life (QoL); exacerbation frequency; application cellular, protein, respiratory biomarkers assessing severity inflammation.Patients (aged >12 years, body weight ≥40 kg) clinician-diagnosed, (guided by 2018...

Background: The prevalence of asthma is 9% among adults in Qatar, and its severity can be attributed to intrinsic extrinsic factors such as environmental changes. As part the project investigate association between air pollution severity, rate exacerbations adult patients with has been studied Qatar. Methods: Retrospective data (16-70 years) from January 2019 December 2021 was retrieved Cerner medical records. Frequencies inpatient outpatient departments were analyzed using means ± SD median...
Specialist nurses have a crucial role within the allergy and immunology specialty that reflects their competence in an increasingly complex area of work ability to use advanced diagnostic testing therapeutic modalities. A specialist nurse Qatar follows local Hamad Medical Cooperation (HMC) guidelines competency published by British Society for Allergy Clinical Immunology (BSACI). Nurses Learning domain: Learn review written standard operating procedure (SOP) protocols all procedures,...
Limited studies correlate allergic symptoms and associated outdoor biological particle exposure among schoolchildren globally.This study aimed to investigate the relationship between seasonality of diseases middle annual variation airborne pollen fungal spore in a hot humid geographical region (Qatar).During November 2017 January 2018, self-reported living Doha capital city Qatar was conducted, data gathered were evaluated relation collected monthly spores. Participants' by conducting survey...
Abstract Daily monitoring of airborne fungal spores was carried out for the first time in Al Khor city, Qatar, using a Hirst type 7-day recording volumetric spore trap, from May 2017 to 2019. During sampling period, annual and monthly fluctuations, as well intradiurnal variations concentrations, were evaluated. Cladosporium, followed by Alternaria, types most abundant atmosphere with strong interannual variability atmospheric concentrations being observed. The Annual Spore Integrals (ASIns)...
The increasing number of aerobiological stations empower comparative studies to determine the relationship between pollen concentrations in different localities and appropriate distance, which should be established sampling stations. In Qatar, this is basically first study for a continuous monitoring interval.The aimed assess abundance seasonality most prevalent types, plus identify potential differences two sites within country.Airborne data were collected during 2017-2020 by using...
