Abstract:
Segmental allergen challenge in allergic patients with asthma reveals a previously unknown role for monocytes in the T helper 2 (TH2)-dependent inflammatory response, whereas in allergic controls without asthma, allergen unresponsiveness seems to be maintained through epithelial-myeloid cell cross-talk that prevents TH2 cell activation (see related Research Article by Alladina et al.).

Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
