    Abstract Conclusion: The frequency and score of SDB were higher in patients with uncontrolled asthma. Frequency and score of SDB were significantly affected by the severity of asthma. SDB must be evaluated in preschool children with uncontrolled asthma.
    Conclusion: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is more common in asthmatic patients than in non-asthmatic persons, and SDB affects negatively to control asthma. A limited number of studies are discovered on the effect of SDB in preschool asthmatic children. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of SDB and its effect on control and severity of asthma in preschool children. A pediatric sleep questionnaire was completed by parents of asthmatic children. Patients who received a score of 0.33 or higher were diagnosed with SDB. Control and severity of asthma was assessed by a pediatric allergy specialist based on the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) criteria. The study included 249 patients, with a mean±SD age of 4.37±1.04 (range: 2-5.9) years; 69% were boys; 56.6% children had uncontrolled asthma and 28.7% had SDB. The SDB score was significantly different between controlled and uncontrolled asthma (0.19 vs 0.28; P < 0.001). The frequency of uncontrolled asthma in patients with and without SDB was 74.3% and 49.4%, respectively (P < 0.010). Based on the severity of asthma, the frequency of SDB among patients with mild, moderate, and severe asthma was 23.4%, 35.2%, and 47.4%, respectively (P = 0.010).

    Abstract Drug hypersensitivity reactions are clinically heterogenous ranging from mild to severe. Most drug hypersensitivity reactions are accompanied by cutaneous manifestations. Fever, mucous membrane involvement, large blisters, facial oedema, pustulosis and visceral involvement are clinical features that lead to suspicion of severe adverse drug reactions. Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) include Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug rash eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. Serum sickness like reactions, drug induced vasculitis and generalized bullous fixed drug eruptions are less severe clinical entities. SCARs are uncommon but associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Physician should be aware of specific red flags and danger signs to immediately identify these reactions. Immediate drug withdrawal is mandatory. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment significantly affect the prognosis of the disease. The purpose of our review is to discuss clinical phenotypes of severe cutaneous drug hypersensitivity reactions.

    Abstract Differentiating PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis, and adenitis) syndrome from familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) could be challenging in some cases. Galectin-3 is a lectin with regulatory functions in apoptosis and inflammation. We aimed to test whether galectin-3 could be a biomarker for differentiating PFAPA syndrome from FMF. Patients with PFAPA syndrome, FMF, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), and streptococcal pharyngitis, and healthy controls were included in this study. Serum galectin-3 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Eighty-seven patients (36 with PFAPA, 39 with FMF, 8 with CAPS, 4 with streptococcal pharyngitis), and 17 healthy controls were included. Blood samples were drawn during attacks from 20 PFAPA and 7 FMF patients and attack-free periods from 22 PFAPA, 35 FMF, and 8 CAPS patients. The median serum galectin-3 level in the PFAPA-attack group (1.025 ng/ml) was significantly lower than the levels in healthy control (2.367 ng/ml), streptococcal pharyngitis (3.021 ng/ml), FMF attack (2.402 ng/ml), and FMF-attack-free groups (2.797 ng/ml) (p = 0.006, 0.03, 0.01, and < 0.001, respectively). PFAPA-attack-free group had lower galectin-3 levels than the FMF-attack-free group (1.794 vs. 2.797 ng/ml, respectively; p = 0.01). Galectin-3 levels did not differ significantly between CAPS and attack-free PFAPA patients (1.439 ng/ml vs. 1.794 ng/ml, respectively; p = 0.63). In our study, for the first time, we defined galectin-3 as a promising biomarker that differs between PFAPA and FMF patients during both disease flares and attack-free periods. Further studies with high number of patients could validate its role as a biomarker.

    Abstract Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disorder resulting from excessive activation and nonmalignant proliferation of T-lymphocytes and macrophages. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disease characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Reports pertaining to the association between HLH and HUS are rarely published; however, we report on a 4-year-old boy who was diagnosed with both conditions and treated successfully with high-dose steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin. Differentiating HUS from HLH can be challenging because of their clinical similarities. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and immunosuppressive treatment are essential and life-saving to these patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) which develops without a known stimulation is defined as the occurrence of spontaneous wheals, angioedema or both for longer than six weeks. Infections, autoimmunity, food intolerance and internal parasitic infections are supposed to be underlying causes of CSU. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intestinal parasites in children and adult patients diagnosed as CSU, to determine the frequency of parasites in chronic urticaria, and to compare these patients with healthy demographic control groups.
    Methodology: Seventy six children and 38 adult patients with CSU were examined in terms of parasitic infections. The patients whom parasites were detected received anti-parasitic therapy and the improvements in CSU symptoms were evaluated. Stool samples were examined with direct microscopic examination (native-lugol), stool concentration and trichrome staining methods.
    Results: In pediatric patient group, 18.4% (n = 14) of the stool samples were positive for Blastocystis sp., 2.6% (n = 2), Dientamoeba fragilis and 1.3% (n = 1), Giardia duodenalis. In adult patient group, Blastocystis sp. was detected in 18.4% (n = 7) of the stool samples. Anti-parasitic therapy yielded substantial improvement in urticaria symptoms in 57.1% of pediatric and 60.0% of adult patients.
    Conclusions: Blastocystis sp. and D. fragilis may play a role in chronic urticaria which seriously disrupts the patient's quality of life. Parasitic infections should not be neglected in patients with cutaneous manifestations.

    Abstract Introduction: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a rare non-IgE, cell-mediated food allergy disorder. We aimed to report the demographic characteristics, clinical features, and management of pediatric patients with FPIES.
    Methods: This retrospective study included all children diagnosed with FPIES at the pediatric allergy departments of the participating twelve study centers from January 2015 to November 2020.
    Results: A total of 73 patients (39 males, 53.4%) with a male/female ratio of 1.1 were included in the study. The median (interquartile ranges) age at symptom onset was 6 months (0.5-168, 4-9.5). The most frequent offending foods were cow's milk, egg's yolk, fish, and egg's white, identified in 38.4% (n = 28), 32.9% (n = 24), 21.9% (n = 16) and 20.5% (n = 15) of the patients, respectively. The total number of reported FPIES episodes was 290 (3.9 episodes per child). Oral food challenge (OFC) was performed in 54.8% (n = 40) of the patients, and tolerance was detected in 17 OFCs (42.5%) at a median age of 15 months (range 8-132 months).
    Conclusion: FPIES is a non-IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity that commonly affects infants and is often misdiagnosed. The pathophysiology of the disease remains unclear and the low awareness of FPIES among physicians and parents highlights the need for more education.
