    Notes: The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is made using evaluated clinical criteria. Management of AD must consider the symptomatic variability of the disease. It is based on hydrating topical treatment, and avoidance of specific and unspecific provocation factors. Anti-inflammatory treatment is used for exacerbation management. Topical corticosteroids remain the first choice. Systemic anti-inflammatory treatment should be kept to a minimum, but may be necessary in rare refractory cases. The new topical calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and pimecrolimus) expand the available choices of topical anti-inflammatory treatment. Microbial colonization and superinfection (e.g. with Staphylococcus aureus, Malassezia furfur) can have a role in disease exacerbation and can justify the use of antimicrobials in addition to the anti-inflammatory treatment. Evidence for the efficacy of systemic antihistamines in relieving pruritus is still insufficient, but some patients seem to benefit. Adjuvant therapy includes ultraviolet (UV) irradiation preferably of UVA wavelength; UVB 311 nm has also been used successfully. Dietary recommendations should be specific and only given in diagnosed individual food allergy. Stress-induced exacerbations may make psychosomatic counselling recommendable. ‘Eczema school’ educational programmes have proved to be helpful.

    Notes:   Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors (TCIs) used for the treatment of atopic eczema modify the immune regulatory function of the skin and may have the potential to enhance immunosuppressive ultraviolet (UV) effects. Current recommendations on UV protection in eczema patients treated with PCIs are inconsistent and have given rise to uncertainty and anxiety in patients. Therefore, the European Dermatology Forum (EDF) developed a position statement which reviews critically the available data with regard to the problem, especially analysing and commenting the limitations of rodent models for the human situation. There is no conclusive evidence from rodent trials to indicate that long-term application of TCIs is photococarcinogenic. There is a need for further studies to investigate the validity of mouse models as well as long-term cohort studies in patients using TCIs. Available data suggest that long-term application of TCIs is safe, that there is no evidence of increased skin cancer risk and that it is ethical to treat patients with TCIs when indicated.

    Notes: Plasma samples which were collected in the presence of heparin contained 12.83 ± 0.34 ng/ml histamine-immunoreactive material (n= 10). In contrast, histamine-immunoreactive material in plasma samples which were collected in the presence of EDTA/phenanthroline contained 0.32 ± 0.01 ng/ml (n= 10). Histamine-immunoreactive material was found as a contaminant in three different heparin formulations with unrelated batch numbers. The concentrations of the histamine-like material were 32.82, 81.93, and 280.23 ng/ml, respectively. Octadecasilyl-silica (ODS) cartridges were used to purify histamine from other constituents in the heparin preparations. The histamine-immunoreactive material in the three preparations could be characterized as histamine with cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a TSK SP-5 PW column with NaH2PO4, pH5.0, as a mobile phase and gradient elution. For the accurate measurement of histamine in plasma samples with heparin as an anticoagulant, one should be aware of a possible contamination of heparin formulations by histamine.

    Notes: The first months of life may be an important period for allergic sensitization. Several studies suggest a relationship between the month of birth (MB) and the development of skin sensitivity to aeroallergens or the manifestation of an atopic disease. In 1988 and 1989 we investigated a population of 1066 Bavarian preschool children aged 5–6 years. Skin prick tests were performed with common aeroallergens (grass pollen, birch pollen, house-dust mite, eat epithelia). The personal history of atopic disease (atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma) was recorded by a questionnaire, and the presence of overt atopic disease was documented by a personal examination. Positive prick test reactions to the above-mentioned aeroallergens were found in 15.4%, 9.2%, 12.2%, and 10.4% of the subjects, respectively; lifetime prevalence of manifest atopic disease was 22.2% for atopic eczema, 11.7% for allergic rhinitis, and 4.5% for asthma. The MB distributions of children reacting to aeroallergens or of those with atopic diseases were compared with those of subjects with corresponding negative findings. Chi-square tests were performed for each aeroallergen and each of the atopic diseases separately. No significant differences among the MB distributions were found (P〉0.3). Thus, in this coherent group. MB correlated neither to allergic sensitization nor to manifest atopic disease.

    Notes: In a total of 525 patients with hypersensitivity reactions to hymenoptera stings diagnostic parameters of hymenoptera venom (HV) allergy (severity of reactions, skin test threshold and RAST for bee and vespid venoms) were investigated for their relationship to the following indicators of atopy: positive history of atopic diseases, elevated (≤ 100 kU/1) total scrum IgE and positive prick test reactions to common inhalant allergens (CIA) (grass pollen, cat epithelium, house dust mite). There was a conclusive history of atopic disease in 25%, a total serum IgE ≥ 100 kU/1 in 48%, and at least one positive reaction to CIA in 53%. Total IgE ≥ 100 kU/l correlated with a higher frequency of RAST classes ≥ 2 (P 〈 0.01) and with less severe reactions to hymenoptera stings (P 〈 0.05). In the presence of at least one positive reaction to CIA, there were more frequently skin test thresholds ≤ 10 μg/ml (P 〈 0.05) and RAST classes ≥ 2 (P 〈 0.01) for HV than in CIA prick test negative individuals. There was no significant relationship between the other pairs of parameters evaluated. Thus, reactivity to HV in diagnostic tests is increased in the presence of certain indicators of atopy. This has to be considered in the interpretation of skin test and RAST results obtained with HV.

    Notes: Although known for more than 80 years, histamine still remains a fascinating substance for allergy research. Histamine antagonists have been in clinical use since 1942. The classical H1-antagonists with sedative side-effects have been more or less replaced by newer non-sedating H1-antagonists; the role of H2-receptors in allergic diseases is still controversial. There, are however, increasing reports of beneficial effects of H2-antagonists. mostly in combination with H1-antagonists, in a variety of allergic and pseudoallergic conditions such as chronic urticaria, anaphylactoid reactions due to colloid volume substitutes, opioid analgesics and radiographic contrast media. The combined use of H1- and H2-antagonists might not only act as specific histamine antagonism but exert a mast cell stabilizing effect, as demonstrated in animal experiments and some clinical studies. Future research will show whether the combined use of H1- and H2-anlagonists will become a routine therapeutic procedure in allergy therapy.

    Notes: Background Influences of microbial pathogens are crucial for the maturation of the immune system. Caspase-recruitment domain containing protein 15 (CARD15) is a cytosolic receptor involved in bacterial recognition by antigen-presenting cells. CARD15 polymorphisms have been associated with Crohn's disease. Recently, associations with atopic phenotypes have been reported in children.Objective Within a large population of German adults (n=1875), we evaluated eight CARD15 polymorphisms for associations with atopic phenotypes.Methods Subjects were phenotyped by standardized questionnaires and interviews as well as total and allergen-specific IgE measurements. Genotyping was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization – time of flight mass spectrometry. Haplotypes were estimated using the SAS/Genetics module.Results Subjects with a T allele at rs1077861 had a decreased risk of developing asthma (odds ratio OR=0.648, P=0.013), whereas the presence of an A allele at rs3135500 was significantly associated with an increased risk (OR=1.374, P=0.023). In addition, a CARD15 haplotype revealed to be protective against the development of asthma (OR=0.326, P=0.003). Subjects with an A allele at position rs5743266 or a T allele at rs2066842 had a significantly decreased risk of developing allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with ORs of 0.820 (P=0.049) and 0.801 (P=0.025). Polymorphism rs2066845 showed a significant association with increased total serum IgE (OR=2.155, P=0.006).Conclusion Genetic variants of CARD15 that might result in inappropriate immunomodulation are not only associated with autoimmune diseases but also with atopic disorders.
