[Grounds for treatment of patients with infectious-allergic rhinitis with bacterial allergens]
Abstract:
We studied mechanisms of cell and humoral immunity in the course of allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) with bacterial allergens in patients with infectious-allergic rhinosinusitis (IAR). Measurements of cytokines determining the type of immune response in conduction of ASIT with bacterial allergens (IL-2 and IL-6) have demonstrated that ASIT shifted cytokines balance to prevalence of Th1 cells. Good and excellent results were achieved in 80% IAR patients. Thus, T-lymphocyte activation of immune system is essential in the mechanism of IAR formation.

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
