5.An Experimental Study on the Passive Transfer of Dermpgaphism.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1981;19(1):55-58
Dermographism is an exaggerated triple response of Lewis and appears as a lineat wheal with a flare at a site in which skin is briskIy stroked with a firm object. The etiology and pathogenesis of dermographism are uncertain but passive transfer tests are sometimes poeitive. The active serum factor has been characteiized as Ig E in some patients. In this experimental study, we tried passive transfer of dermographism with the sera of the patients with dermographism. Twelve dermographic patients' sera were tested to fourteen normal healthy persons and two asymptomatic dermographic persons, total number of thirty nine cases. Only two recipients were passively transferred but they showed positive responses to all sera tested, two and three respectively. This result suggests that not only serum factor but also recipient's factor(s) may be concerned in passive transfer of dermographism.

Iodinated contrast media (CM) can cause immediate and late reactions. We treated a patient with a recurrent generalized maculopapular rash and a fever that occurred within two days of exposure to iodinated CM, iopromide (Ultravist(R)), for chest computed tomography. We performed skin testing including prick tests, intradermal tests, and patch tests. Our findings indicated a late skin reaction to Ultravist(R) in addition to cross-reactions to other iodinated CM such as ioversol (Optiray(R)), iohexol (Iobrix(R)), and iobitridol (Xenetix(R)). In this study, we report the case of a patient diagnosed with a late adverse reaction to Ultravist(R) in addition to cross-reactions to other iodinated CM.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Correct diagnosis for allergic rhinitis is important for optimal management. A thorough history should be taken, followed by general and endoscopic examinations and confirmatory investigations. The role of diagnostic tests in the evaluation of patients with allergic rhinitis continues to evolve. This clinical study was performed to identify the relationship between clinical history and diagnostic tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Questionnaire surveys for clinical history, skin test, RAST, and nasal provocation test (acoustic rhinometry and symptom score) to the house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) were performed in 100 patients from July, 1996 to August, 1998 at Inha University Hospital. The relationship between clinical history (change of syagoides pteronyssinus antigen (Allergopharma, Reinbeck, USA) was sprayed and 15 with PC-SAS. (ver 6.120) RESULTS: There was no correlation between clinical history and the diagnostic tests. However there was a correlation between the results of either skin or RAST testing and those of nasal provocation test. CONCLUSIONS: More careful and complete history taking is needed for diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. The combined use of RAST, skin testing and nasal provocation test yields more information.

BACKGROUND: Althogh drug euption refers to a common dermatological condition, there are numerous holdbacks on the diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: This study atternpts to define the clinical features and causavite drug of the patients with drug eruptions, and to evalarate the diagnostic value of various skin tests. METHOD: 130 patients with drug eruptions were reviewed clinically. In 54 patients, intradermal test, patch test, and scratch patch test were performed using suspected drugs. Result : The exanthematous eruption(53.0%), fixed drug eruptior.(29.2%), and urticaria(6.2%) were the common types of the drug eruption. The common causative agenst of drug eruptions were antibiotics/antimicrobials, antipyretics/NSAIDs, and CNS depressants. 28 paitients out of the 54 patients on skin tests with suspected drugs had positive results in at least one slinest. CONCLUSION: In our study, we were able to obtain somewhat meaningfi 1 results based on data from the combination of various skin tests.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate whether skin tests are suitable to predict the allergy reactions induced by Chinese herbal injections (CHIs).
METHODS:
The skin tests including skin prick tests (SPT), intradermal tests (IDT) and provocation tests including subcutaneous tests and intravenous tests were administered to 249 healthy subjects and 180 allergic patients for 3 CHIs, including ginkgolide injection, diterpene ginkgolide meglumine injection and Salvianolate lyophilized injection. The results of the provocation tests were used as the "gold standard" to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the skin tests.
RESULTS:
The results did not show any significant differences between the healthy and allergy groups in both skin tests and provocation tests (P>0.05). The specificities of SPT and IDT were 0.976 and 0.797, respectively, and the sensitivities of both SPT and IDT were 0.
CONCLUSION
Skin tests are insufficient to predict the likelihood of allergic reactions resulting from CHIs. (ChiCTR-CPC-15006921).

Diagnostic methods for drug allergy include the patient's history, in vivo skin test, in vitro laboratory test, and provocation test. However, the history is often not reliable, procedures for in vivo and in vitro tests are not standardized, and provocation tests are sometimes harmful to patients. Generally, skin prick and intradermal tests are useful for immediate reactions; in contrast, patch test and delayed reading of both skin prick and intradermal tests are helpful for delayed reactions. A drug provocation test is the gold standard for both responses, and it is necessary to be aware of exact indications and contraindications with appropriate drugs, doses, and intervals. To date, several methods have been developed to detect culprit agents for drug hypersensitivity reactions, but they are neither completely well validated nor standardized. Based on this awareness and necessity, the Korean Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Clinical Immunology launched the Standardization Committee to review the international guidelines and the literature, and then developed the consensus report on the procedures and applications of diagnostic tests for drug allergy.
