    Abstract Background: Anaphylaxis is a very dynamic issue with its incidence and trigger profile changing over the years. We aimed to compile the characteristics of anaphylaxis cases diagnosed in our clinic prospectively and to make a comparison between diagnostic criteria proposed by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases/Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (NIAID/FAAN) and World Allergy Organization (WAO).
    Method: Three-item diagnostic criteria recommended by NIAID/FAAN (2006) were used in the diagnosis of anaphylaxis. The clinical features of the cases, risk factors, etiologies, severity of anaphylaxis, and treatment approach were determined. The same patients were also classified by current WAO diagnostic criteria.
    Results: A total of 204 patients (158F/46 M, median age 45.3 years) were included. Drugs (65.2%), venom (9.8%) and food allergies (9.3%) were the top 3 etiologies. Among drug triggers, chemotherapeutics were the most common (17.7%), followed by antibiotics (15.3%) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (14.2%). The patients were mostly diagnosed with the second criterion (84.8%), followed by the first criterion (11.8%) and the third criterion (3.4%) of the NIAID/FAAN criteria. In terms of WAO criteria, 82.8% of the patients were diagnosed with the first criterion, and 14.3% with the second criterion while 2.9% of the patients did not meet the WAO criteria. The severity of anaphylaxis was evaluated as grade-2, 3 and 4 in 30.9%, 64.2%, and 4.9% of the patients, respectively. Adrenaline was administered to 31.9% of the patients especially who had angioedema and bronchospasm (p = 0.04).
    Conclusion: Our data suggest that covering more details in patient's history may prevent possible underdiagnosis and WAO diagnostic criteria seem to be insufficient in some patients. We believe that our results will contribute to the literature on anaphylaxis and would be groundwork for future studies.

    Abstract Introduction: Aspirin desensitization (AD) is an effective treatment in patients with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) by providing inhibitory effect on symptoms and polyp recurrence. However, limited data is available on how AD works. We aimed to study comprehensively the mechanisms underlying AD by examining basophil activation (CD203c upregulation), mediator-releases of tryptase, CysLT, and LXA
    Methods: The study was conducted in patients with NERD who underwent AD (group 1:
    Results: All baseline parameters of CD203c and LTB
    Conclusion: Although basophils are active during the first 3 months of AD, no releases of CysLT, tryptase or LXA

    Abstract Background: There are limited data regarding the effectiveness of omalizumab in patients with non-allergic asthma.
    Objective: To evaluate the clinical and functional effectiveness of omalizumab in patients with non-allergic asthma.
    Methods: The study was a single-center, retrospective chart review of patients with non-allergic asthma who were treated with add-on omalizumab between February 2014 and March 2016. After omalizumab was started, data of the asthma control test (ACT), pulmonary function test, and daily oral corticosteroid (OCS) dosage were collected at baseline, 16 weeks, 1 year, 2 and 3 years (if available). The number of exacerbations/hospitalizations were collected 1 year prior to and 6 months/1 year after omalizumab. To calculate the total daily dosage of OCS in milligrams, data for 6 months/1 year prior and after omalizumab treatment were recorded.
    Results: Thirteen patients were included. After omalizumab, the mean ACT was significantly increased at 16 weeks (n = 13, p = 0.002), 1 year (n = 7, p = 0.006), and 2 years (n = 5, p = 0.006). The mean daily OCS dose was significantly decreased at 16 weeks (n = 13, p = 0.001), 1 year (n = 7, p = 0.006), and 2 years (n = 5, p = 0.04). The mean number of exacerbations and hospitalizations were decreased at the 6th month (n = 13; p = 0.001, p = 0.005) and 1st year (n = 7; p = 0.01, p = 0.02). The mean total quantity of OCS decreased 42% from 1.4 to 0.8 g in the six-month period prior to and post-omalizumab treatment (n = 6, p = 0.02) and decreased 76% from 3.8 to 0.9 g at 1 year in the pre vs. post-omalizumab treatment comparison (n = 7, p = 0.01). Six (46.2%) patients responded perfectly and seven (53.8%) partially responded to treatment.
    Conclusion: Omalizumab can be effective in non-atopic severe asthma.

    Abstract Background: CD203c is a basophil surface marker and its expression is rapidly up-regulated after cross-linking of high-affinity immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor (FcepsilonR1) by an allergen. CD203c basophil activation tests have been studied for the in vitro diagnosis of several allergic conditions. However, there is limited data about its diagnostic usefulness. The optimum allergen concentrations for stimulation and allergen specific cutoff values remain unknown for a number of allergens. This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of basophil activation test via CD203c in the diagnosis of pollen allergy.
    Methods: The CD203c basophil activation was determined in 31 allergic rhinitis patients with pollen allergy and 9 healthy nonatopic controls during the off-season. CD203c expression was evaluated using three-color staining protocol by flow cytometry.
    Results: After an in vitro stimulation with grass pollen extract, the CD203c assay clearly discriminated pollen-allergic patients from controls (p < 0.001). A dose-dependent increase in the percentages of CD203c-activated basophils was shown in rhinitis patients with pollen allergy (p < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity was 100% and optimal cutoff values were 14.05 and 10.05% with 45.1 and 4.5 μg/mL Phl p 5 stimulation, respectively. Although the specificity was also 100%, the sensitivity was 93 and 87% and the cutoff values were 5.40 and 5.35% with 4.5 × 10(-4) and 4.5 × 10(-5) micrograms/mL Phl p 5 stimulation, respectively.
    Conclusion: The CD203c basophil activation test seems to be a reliable tool in the diagnosis of grass pollen allergy. It could be used when conventional diagnostic tests fail or can not be performed.
