Hypersensitivities

895
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Allergic Drug Reactions

925
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Summary

Allergen trends in Korea have shifted over a decade. While common allergens like dust mites remain prevalent, sensitization to pets increased, and to cockroaches decreased, impacting allergy management strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergy and Clinical Immunology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Allergic disease prevalence is rising globally due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
  • Understanding trends in common allergen sensitization is crucial for effective disease control.
  • Limited data exists on long-term shifts in allergen prevalence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the 10-year trend of common allergen sensitization in Korea.
  • To analyze changes in specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels using MAST-CLA.
  • To inform updated strategies for allergy prevention and management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 5,760 adult patients' medical records over 10 years.
  • Measurement of total and specific IgE levels against 41 allergens via MAST-CLA.
  • Analysis included clinical diagnoses, illness duration, and eosinophil counts.

Main Results:

  • House dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus) and house dust were consistently prevalent.
  • Sensitization to house dust, dogs, and cats significantly increased over the study period.
  • Sensitization to cockroaches and storage mites significantly decreased.
  • No significant change was observed in the total number of sensitizing allergens per patient.

Conclusions:

  • Significant shifts in common allergen sensitization patterns have occurred over the past decade in Korea.
  • The findings necessitate re-evaluation of current allergy prevention and management approaches.
  • Physicians and patients should adapt strategies based on evolving allergen exposure trends.
