Significance Coexposure to airborne pollen enhances susceptibility respiratory viral infections, regardless of the allergy status. We hypothesized this could be also true for SARS-CoV-2 infections. To investigate this, we tested relationships between infection rates and concentrations, along with humidity, temperature, population density, lockdown effects. Our unique dataset derives from 130 sites in 31 countries across five continents. found that pollen, sometimes synergy humidity...

Validation of a questionnaire (CARAT10) to assess rhinitis and asthma in patients with asthma. Allergy 2010; 65 : 1042–1048. Abstract Background aim: The Control Allergic Rhinitis Asthma Test (CARAT) was developed be used the concurrent management these diseases, as recommended by its Impact on (ARIA) guidelines. However, it necessary statistically identify remove...
Abstract Background Information on rhinitis epidemiology in preschool children is scarce. Objectives To estimate, with 3–5 years of age, current prevalence, to describe symptoms and associated sociodemographic characteristics, report allergic its impact asthma ( ARIA ) classification. Methods Cross‐sectional, nationwide, population‐based study including aged years. A multistep selection strategy was used obtain a representative sample. Data were collected at kindergartens parish centers by...
The Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT10) has been proposed as the first tool to implement its Impact on initiative guidelines in clinical practice. To serve this purpose, it must have adequate properties assess control an individual over time. This study aimed prospectively test-retest reliability, responsiveness longitudinal validity CARAT10.Adults with asthma allergic rhinitis were enrolled at 4 outpatient clinics Portuguese central hospitals. At each two visits, 6 weeks...
Abstract Background Anaphylaxis is increasing at pediatric age; however, its characterization hampered by underdiagnosis and underreporting. The aim of this study was to identify the causes anaphylaxis in children adolescents Portugal, thus contributing a better knowledge etiology, clinical manifestations, management. Methods During 10‐year period, nationwide notification system for implemented, with voluntary reporting allergists. Data on 533 patients under 18 years age were included....
Peach is a common food allergen source throughout Europe. The aim of this study was to characterize peach allergy in Portuguese patient population.Thirty peach-allergic patients confirmed by double-blind placebo-controlled challenges and 29 controls were included. All subjects completed standardized questionnaire regarding symptoms epidemiologic characteristics, skin prick tests with inhalant allergens foods as well specific IgE antibodies peach, recombinant rPru p 1, 3, 4 cross-reactive...
Background Published literature documents the substantial burden of hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1 inhibitor deficiency on quality life and work productivity patients. However, despite advances in field availability guidelines to advise health care providers (HCP) diagnosis management HAE, there are still many challenges overcome. For example, delayed misdiagnosis common, treatment practices vary worldwide. Objective An international expert panel was convened consider opportunities for...
Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening, multiorgan hypersensitivity reaction. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the causes anaphylaxis in Portugal order improve our knowledge epidemiology and management.We implemented a nationwide notification system for over 10-year period, with voluntary reporting by allergists. Data on 1783 patients were included. Etiopathogenesis, manifestations, clinical management characterized detail both children adults.The mean age 32.7 (20.3)...
We report the case of a 46-year-old Caucasian female presenting with mucocutaneous pigmentation on lips, oral mucosa, hands, feet and nails, as well psoriatic plaque. She was successfully treated Q-switched Nd-Yag laser, double frequency, for both mucosal cutaneous lesions.
Abstract Aerobiology could be used as complementary data or proxy for studying phenology, especially in species which usually are not long-distance transported, such grasses. This 21-year aerobiological study took place Évora (South Portugal), using a seven-day recording volumetric pollen trap with the aim of analysing temporal trends grass seasons. To this end, were statistically tested correlation and regression to determine features Main results show that Poaceae has high representation...
