There is a marked shift in innate and adaptive immune responses in Chinese immigrants after living in a Western environment for several years
Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses
The completeness of the coverage of a genome assembly is a critical starting point for all genomic projects so considerable attention is given to the sequencing metrics, which showed high indicators of success.
The house dust mite allergen Der p 2 is one of the most important indoor allergens associated with allergic disease.
IgE antibodies in house dust mite (HDM) allergy follow a predictable pattern. Half are directed against two dominant allergens and the remainder largely against
Early aberrant antibody responses, aeroallergen sensitised people, subclinical bacterial infection
This study investigated the potential role of ST2 in children with acute asthma.
The monoclonal antibody, palivizumab is licensed for use in high-risk infants to prevent severe illness caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The level of its use and compliance with current jurisdictional guidelines which were amended in 2010, is unknown.
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of community and health care-associated bacteremia, with authors of recent studies estimating the incidence of S aureus bacteremia (SAB) in high-income countries between 8 and 26 per 100 000 children per year. Despite this, <300 children worldwide have ever been randomly assigned into clinical trials to assess the efficacy of treatment of SAB.
Throughout history, pandemics of viral infections such as HIV, Ebola and Influenza have disrupted health care systems, including the prevention and control of endemic diseases. Such disruption has resulted in an increased burden of endemic diseases in post-pandemic periods.
