    Abstract Retrospective questionnaires are used since decades to assess the severity and/or control of allergic diseases. Applications on smartphones have recently facilitated the use of prospective clinical diaries, based on questionnaires filled every day by the patient. Once limited to clinical trials, these e-diaries, based on validated disease control scores and visual analogue scales, permit a quantitative day-by-day measure free of recall bias. Given the advantages of this procedure, its use could be extended to the daily clinical practice. E-diaries may facilitate (1) a more precise identification of the culprit allergen in the diagnostic work-up of poly-sensitized patients, (2) the stratification of patients for treatment, (3) the follow-up of the patients under treatment for optimized shared decision-making, and (4) a careful assessment of preventive therapies. While a few apps are being used in scientific studies, consensus on their use in daily practice should be reached and guidelines for specialists should be elaborated by scientific associations.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To summarize recent data on molecular profiles of IgE sensitization in allergic patients and discuss how they can influence our understanding of allergen specific immunotherapy.
    Recent findings: In childhood, Immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization to grass pollen starts preclinically as a weak, mono or oligomolecular response and evolves rapidly to become strong, polymolecular and associated with clinical manifestations. This immunological phenomenon has been defined 'molecular spreading' and it makes the IgE sensitization profiles to complex allergenic sources highly heterogeneous in the population.
    Summary: The recent findings raise new questions: do different molecular sensitization profiles (e.g. to grass pollen) underlie different clinical responses to allergen-specific immunotherapy? Should the allergen-specific immunological intervention be anticipated at earlier stages of the IgE sensitization process? Should the regulatory rules for molecularly designed allergen-specific immunotherapy preparations consider the extreme heterogeneity of sensitization profiles in populations?

    Abstract The importance of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is multifaceted, encompassing both clinical and quality-of-life improvements and cost-effectiveness in the long term. Key mechanisms of allergen tolerance induced by AIT include changes in memory type allergen-specific T- and B-cell responses towards a regulatory phenotype with decreased Type 2 responses, suppression of allergen-specific IgE and increased IgG

    Abstract Purpose of review: The identification of immunological markers in nasal secretions and tears is becoming essential in the study of allergic diseases. The collection procedure of nasal and ocular secretions directly influences the results, thus it is of paramount importance to validate and standardize the sampling process.
    Recent findings: Current techniques for nasal secretions sampling are mainly based on three principles: collection of spontaneous secretions, nasal washings, and absorption. Collection of spontaneous secretions is appropriate in subjects with nasal hypersecretion, whereas in healthy individuals the collected volume is frequently insufficient. Nasal washings are associated with an unpredictable, high dilution and concentrations of markers often fall below detection limits of immunological assays. Absorption seem to provide the best compromise between sufficient sample amounts and detectability of inflammatory mediators and immunoglobulin E. Tear samples can be obtained by glass capillary tubes, filter paper strips and ophthalmic sponges. Volumes are however small or highly diluted through reflex tearing.
    Summary: Secretions reflect the local inflammatory activity and provide valuable information about the immunological reaction to allergens at the target organ. There is increasing evidence of the potential clinical role of their analysis, for diagnosis, and monitoring of allergic rhino-conjunctivitis. Appropriate collection and processing is very important and requires special attention.

    Abstract Progressive knowledge of allergenic structures resulted in a broad availability of allergenic molecules for diagnosis. Component-resolved diagnosis allowed a better understanding of patient sensitization patterns, facilitating allergen immunotherapy decisions. In parallel to the discovery of allergenic molecules, there was a progressive development of a regulation framework that affected both in vitro diagnostics and Allergen Immunotherapy products. With a progressive understanding of underlying mechanisms associated to Allergen immunotherapy and an increasing experience of application of molecular diagnosis in daily life, we focus in analyzing the evidences of the value provided by molecular allergology in daily clinical practice, with a focus on Allergen Immunotherapy decisions.

    Abstract Symptoms are recorded by obtaining a clinical history. Allergen sensitization is demonstrated by skin prick test or allergen-specific IgE serology. IgE sensitizations to allergen sources can be identified knowing the relationship between major aeroallergens and homologous allergen families. Some develop allergic sensitization to pan-allergens. Allergen extracts do not allow definitive separation of the sources. IgE antibody analysis of the major allergenic molecules facilitates differentiation of sensitizing allergen sources. IgE sensitizations to inhalant allergens are only relevant in the case of corresponding symptoms. In questionable cases, conjunctival or nasal provocation tests help induce confirmatory symptoms and identify relevant allergens for immunotherapy.

    Abstract Background: Molecular antibody reactivity profiles have not yet been studied in depth in patients treated by sublingual house dust mite (HDM) tablet immunotherapy. Humoral immune responses to a large panel of HDM mite allergens were studied using allergen microarray technology in a subset of clinically defined high and low responder patients from a double-blind placebo-controlled allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) trial using sublingual 300 IR HDM tablets.
    Methods: Serum levels of IgE, IgG and IgG
    Results: Der p 1, Der p 2 and Der p 23 were the most frequently recognized allergens in the study population. Patients with HDM-related asthma had significantly higher allergen-specific IgE levels to Der p 1 and Der p 23. No significant difference in the distribution of allergen sensitization pattern was observed between high and low responders. An increase in serum allergen-specific IgG and IgG
    Conclusions: We confirm for our study population that Der p 1- and Der p 23-specific IgE levels are associated with asthma. IgE reactivity profiles were not predicitive of sublingual AIT outcomes, with 300 IR tablets as efficacious in pauci- and multi-sensitized subjects. Our study is the first to demonstrate the induction of IgG and IgG
