Guidelines currently do not recommend the routine use of chest x-ray (CXR) in bronchiolitis. However, CXR is still performed a high percentage cases, mainly to diagnose or rule out pneumonia. The inappropriate results children exposure ionizing radiations and increased medical costs. Lung Ultrasound (LUS) has become an emerging diagnostic tool for diagnosing pneumonia last decades. purpose this study was assess accuracy reliability LUS detection hospitalized with bronchiolitis evaluate...
Pollen-induced allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR) is highly prevalent and rapidly evolving during childhood. General practitioners may not be fully aware of the nature severity symptoms experienced by patients might underestimate prevalence moderate or severe disease. Thus, relevance early diagnosis intervention overlooked.To investigate pollen-induced AR its determinants in Italian children referred to allergy specialists who had never received specific immunotherapy (SIT).Children (age 4-18...
Pollen-food syndrome (PFS) is heterogeneous with regard to triggers, severity, natural history, comorbidities, and response treatment. Our study aimed classify different endotypes of PFS based on IgE sensitization panallergens.We examined 1271 Italian children (age 4-18 years) seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR). Foods triggering were acquired by questionnaire. Skin prick tests performed commercial pollen extracts. panallergens Phl p 12 (profilin), Bet v 1 (PR-10), Pru 3 (nsLTP)...
