THE ROLE OF THE ASTHMATIC OR ALLERGIC PATIENT

Having asthma or allergies doesn´t mean you have to live in an isolated bubble.

You need to know about causes. You should understand treatment methods and their merits in terms of you condition.

You should be certain that the medical management of your asthma or allergy is directed by a qualified physician.

The effective medical treatment of asthma and allergic conditions takes training, cognitive skills and an ingrained personal concern for the total health of the patient.

You should be aware thet certain forms of treatment are not able to stand the challenge of standard scientific evaluation.

A PATIENT SHOULD ASK:

Is the physician specifically and sufficiently trained to deal in a cost-efficient manner with the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergy and related immunological diseases?

ALLERGY- abnormal sensitivity to an ordinarily harmless substance or substances. Can cause hay fever, hives, asthma and a variety of other immunologic disorders.

ALLERGIST- a physician with special training in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases.

INMUNOGLOBULINA E / IMMUNOGLOBULIN E.

IMMUNOGLOBULIN E ;

   La Inmunoglobulina E es un anticuerpo reagínico responsable o mediador específico de la respuesta

o reacción alérgica.

   Fue descubierta en 1 967 por Ishizaka (Estados Unidos, John´s Hopkins) y O Johansson (Suecia).

   El descubrimiento de la Inmunoglobulina E en 1 967, le dio el caracter de ciencia a la especialidad

médica: ALERGOLOGIA;  la cual  hasta esa fecha era el  "cajón de sastre" de otras especialidades que

desconocían el alcance histórico del pediatra vienés Von Pirquet (Austria), quien acuñó el término

ALERGIA, en 1 905. Precisamente cuando ya Menickov (Rusia) había descubierto la FAGOCITOSIS

y el mundo científico se preparaba para asistir al desarrollo de los mecanismos inmunológicos básicos y

clínicos de la ALERGOLOGIA.

IMMUNOTHERAPY OR HYPOSENSITIZATION AGAINST A SPECIFIC ANTIGEN.

Hyposensitization is indicated when avoidance of the allergenn is impossible.

Amounts of antigens injected should be small enough not to induce a reaction, but large enough to produce some increase in tolerance. Beginning with an initial dose chosen with regard to the patient´s degree of
hypersensitivity, as revealed by history and confirmed by testing, one gradually increases doses until an amount is reached that protects but  gives no side effects. Injections are usually given once or twice a week.

FOOD AND GASTROINTESTINAL ALLERGY IN CHILDREN

Although foods are the most common cause of gastrointestinal allergic disorders, food allergy and gastrointestinal allergy are not the same thing.

Food allergy is a much larger problem as it may cause trouble not only in the gastrointestinal tract, but in the respiratory tract, skin, or any system of the body.

IS YOUR CHILD ALLERGIC TO MILK?

Does your child keep a cold? Does she sniff and snort?
does he cough all the time or suffer with asthma?
Is he pale? Does he have dark circles under his eyes?
Does he complain of headache, stomachache or legache?
is she tired sometimes and overactive and irritable at other times?
if she has such symptoms she may suffer from a hidden food allergy.

Such an allergy is often caused by a food (or foods) your child
eats every day.

Leading the list of foods wich cause allergy in children is cow's milk.
AS TREATED BY WILLIAM G. CROOK, MD. JACKSON, TENNESSEE, USA PUBLISHED BY SYNTEX LABORATORIES, PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA, 1974.

We confirm all of the above after many years of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Practice.

How do you find out if your child is allergic to milk?

You take every trace of milk out of your child's diet for 7 to 21 days.
This means not only milk to drink, but such obvious sources of milk as cheese, ice cream, sherbet, yogurt, cream soups, milk puddings, custards and butter, and some of the less obvious milk sources, such as breads, most cookies, spaghetti and mixed soups.

We have followed these rules of thumb with great success! 

Sometimes your doctor may want your youngster to avoid other foods that come from  a cow, including hamburgers, steaks, veal, chops and gelatin.

Agreed! Currently the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and the Join Council of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology of the United States, accept the above statements.

7) CHEST CHANGES IN ASTHMA

8) GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE

Although interested in all aspects of childhood allergy. Dr. Marks attention was focused especially on (1) dark circles under the eyes (allergic shiners) and (2) the role played by mouth breathing and persistent nasal allergy in the development of orofacial dental deformities.
Early management of allergic respiratory tract disease is essential if its long-term consequences are to be prevented or minimized. The opportunity for early management is enhanced when one becomes familiar with the various early physical manifestations of respiratory tract allergy.
