Summary

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs get less air.
Symptoms of asthma include

Wheezing
Coughing, especially early in the morning or at night
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath

Not all people who have asthma have these symptoms. Having these symptoms doesn't always mean that you have asthma. Your doctor will diagnose asthma based on lung function tests, your medical history, and a physical exam. You may also have allergy tests.
When your asthma symptoms become worse than usual, it's called an asthma attack. Severe asthma attacks may require emergency care, and they can be fatal.
Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms.

ANESTESIA Y ALERGIA ALIMENTARIA

Los pacientes alérgicos a la soja y los alérgicos al huevo pueden recibir anestesia sin ningún riesgo (Soy-allergic and Egg-allergic Patients Can Safely Receive Anesthesia)

Este artículo ha sido reseñado por Thanai Pongdee, MD, FAAAAI

La AAAAI recientemente informó sobre la seguridad de los inhaladores para el asma en pacientes alérgicos a la soja y a los maníes, a pesar de algunas preocupaciones debidas a percepciones erróneas con respecto a los ingredientes de los inhaladores. Han surgido similares preocupaciones con respecto a posibles alérgenos alimentarios en medicamentos de aplicación por vía intravenosa utilizados para la anestesia.

El propofol es un medicamento de aplicación por vía intravenosa utilizado para la anestesia previa a cirugías y otras intervenciones médicas, y para algunas personas con respirador artificial. El propofol se mezcla en un líquido que contiene aceite de soja y una sustancia llamada lecitina de huevo. La lecitina es una sustancia grasa que se encuentra en los tejidos de algunas plantas y algunos animales.

Los pacientes que son alérgicos a los alimentos, incluso a la soja y al huevo, son alérgicos a las proteínas contenidas en los alimentos y no son alérgicos a los aceites y grasas presentes en los alimentos. El aceite de soja y la lecitina de huevo pueden contener una cantidad minima de proteína residual, sin embargo, no se han demostrado reacciones alérgicas causadas por ello. Si bien el maní y la soja pertenecen a la familia de las legumbres, la enorme mayoría de pacientes alérgicos al maní no son clínicamente alérgicos a la soja, e incluso si lo fueran, probablemente no reaccionarían al aceite de soja.

Hay informes de reacciones al propofol donde aparecen urticarias u otros síntomas de reacciones alérgicas sistémicas (anafilaxia). Sin embargo, la mayoría de los informes de anafilaxia al propofol se han producido en pacientes que no son alérgicos al huevo, y la enorme mayoría de pacientes alérgicos al huevo reciben propofol sin tener reacciones. Algunos pacientes pueden ser alérgicos al mismo propofol. Además, la mayoría de los pacientes que reaccionan luego de recibir propofol han recibido otros medicamentos al mismo tiempo que pueden provocar o empeorar la anafilaxia, incluso antibióticos, miorrelajantes y analgésicos opiáceos. De esta manera, si bien está claro que el propofol puede causar reacciones anafilácticas, la causa de estas reacciones no es clara y parece no estar relacionada con la alergia a la soja o al huevo.

En resumen: Los pacientes alérgicos a la soja o al huevo pueden recibir propofol sin necesidad de precauciones especiales. Cualquier paciente, sea o no alérgico a la soja o al huevo, que tenga una aparente reacción alérgica al propofol debe ser evaluado por un alergista.

PUBLISHER Illinois. USA.

The child with behavior problems has been examined from a variety of viewpoints by pediatricians, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Genetic inheritance, environment, pampering, sight, and hearing have been studied meticulously. The ego, interpersonal relations, and the psyche have been dissected in many cases, and sometimes the dissection bears fruit. Listless, irritable, and hyperreactive children are brought in vast numbers to psysicians for care, and the management of their behavior disorders is a leading pediatric concern..

Parents and teachers are especially concerned when fatigue or irritability affect the child’s performance in school. On investigation it is often found that the teacher is not able to hold the child’s attention or interest. Instead the child may sit and stare dreamily. An abnormally restless, jittery hyperkinetic child is not only miserable himself but can destroy the study patterns of the entire classroom. Punishment is a common early reaction, because parents feel that the child is naughty or trying to get attention

12:207, 1958

As Fred J. Kittler wrote: there is growing awareness, among pediatric allergists at least, of the role allergy plays in causing restlessness and listlessness in children. This has been especially true since Speer helped clarify our thinking by coining a new term, the allergic tension-fatigue syndrome, for an old but previously unnamed allergic syndrome.

Kittler, cites Speer, 1954 Pediatric clinics of North America 1:1029, 1954. Speer cites himself in Allergy Migraine in Headache 11:63, 1971; Allergic Factors in Migraine en Modern Medicine, Feb 8 p. 100, 1971 and ALLERGIC MIGRAINE in ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY IN CHILDHOOD, 1973.

Speer in 1971 outlined the following diseases to be considered in differential diagnosis of The Allergic Tension-Fatigue Syndrome:

Defective vision, defective hearing, mild retardation, malnutrition, intestinal parasites, lead poisoning, sickle-cell anemia, neuroses, , and psychosis. Any type of stress, such as excessive television viewing, family and school problems, and economic deprivation, may need to be considered. Minimal brain damage from diseases in infancy or during the mother’s pregnancy or from meningitis may also need to be thought of.

See five (5) causes of food allergy in children: cow’s milk, wheat, egg, soy, peanuts and hard nuts.

COW´S MILK ALLERGI IN INFANTS . 206 cases presented by Dr. Norman W. Clein in Pediatrics of North America. 1954. Copy handed out to me by Dr Speer, personally.

At his Allergy Clinic, Shwanee- Mission Outlook Street. Kansas City Kansas. USA

Vincent J. Fontana, M.D. director of Pediatric Allergy, Bellevue Hospital , New York, new York, recommended me to Dr Speer.

Follows a resume of Dr. Clein's paper:

Breast milk is not only the best food, but is also the ideal and natural food for the newborn infant. Few infants are allergic to breast milk. even though the mother may be a highly allergic person. Cow's milk is only a substitute for breast milk and as such may present a relatively high degree of allergenicity.

The majority of babies in this country are presently fed on a cow's milk formula in one form or another and do quite well. There are also a relatively large number who suffer simple colic or become desperately ill as a result of an allergy or sensitivity to milk. For many years it has been hinted that cow's milk may disagree with some babies. Abt, in 1 911 mentioned that some infants have an idiosincrasy to cow's milk which produces "toxic symptoms and injuries to the baby". Piness, in 1 925 called attention to allergic manifestation from food in infants. Pediatric textbooks barely mention milk allergy or refer meagerly to minor gastrointestinal symptoms. Several clinical reports have stressed the intestinal manifestations, omitting or barely mentioning any other type of symptoms. The fact remains that allergty to cow's milk is a common cause of symptoms in many infants. A formula ideal for some babies may be another baby's poison.

A critical clinical analysis of 206 infants allergic to cow's milk reveals a multipicity of ordinary or strange, baffling, mild to serious and often apparently unrelated clinical syndromes. Various prolonged, complicated and expensive diagnostic tests, treatments and even operations have been performed in an effort to relieve these unfortunate infants, because allergy to milk was not suspected as a cause of their symptoms. The type and location of symptoms depend on two factors: (1) the tissue or organ affected and (2) the results of the pathologic mechanism of allergic disease on the particular organ or tissue involved ( edema of mucus membranes, spam of smooth muscle and excess mucus secretion ). If the allergic "trigger"area is in the nose, we expect swelling, stuffiness and excess secretions as well as other local and constitutional symptoms that follow.

Below we show the twelve clinical entities described by Dr. Clein:

Eczema 91 cases

Pylorospasm 78 cases

Colic 65 cases

Diarrhea 47 cases

Very unhappy all the time, 40 cases

Cough, croup, choking, gagging, excess mucus in throat 36 cases

Nose cold all the time, 27 cases

Constipation 10 cases

Asthma 15 cases

Refuses milk entirely – anorexia 7 cases

Toxemia –apathetic, listless, cyanotic, collapse 4 cases

Urticaria –angioedema 3 cases.

Note: I myself have seen these cases in my practice and I have follow the American way of solving them.

Above you can read the current publications of the World Allergy Organization. WAO as presented by a panel of distinguished Allergists / Immunologists but The Allergy Tension - Fatigue Syndrome coined by the American Allergist Frederic Speer in 1.954 is not mentioned, been a breakthrough.

The Global Atlas of Allergic Rhinitis and Chronic Rhinosinusitis by the EAACI in its Chapter 20, says: The concept of Allergic Fatigue is attributed to Melvyn Danzig (1989).
