There are little data in the literature regarding the home-phase of SOTI, not only with regard to type and frequency of adverse reactions but also regarding the most suitable treatment and protocol.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;To define the incidence and severity of adverse reactions, possible risk factors, and the safety and effectiveness of the home-phase of an original SOTI protocol in a large group of children with severe cow's milk (CM) allergy, after the hospital &quot;rush&quot; phase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The study was conducted by recording in-home phase adverse events, success and failure as reported by parents, and calling families. Adverse reactions were treated following the International Guidelines, arbitrarily modified by introducing nebulised epinephrine for respiratory reactions, oral beclomethasone for acute gastric pain and oral cromolyn for recurrent gastric pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 140 patients, 132 were contacted; eight were inaccessible (follow-up 2-84 months). The number of adverse reactions was 1 in every 100 doses. The reactions were treated with nebulised epinephrine (221 reactions), IM epinephrine (6 reactions), and other drugs. Patients with high specific IgE levels (greater than 100 kU(A)/L) and lower CM dose (less than 5 ml) at the end of in-hospital phase showed a higher risk both for number of reactions and use of nebulised epinephrine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The home phase of SOTI was characterised by a significant number of adverse reactions, mostly managed with an acceptable rate of side effects. Nebulised epinephrine played a pivotal role in respiratory reactions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21802824?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saccari, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubert, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adverse effects during specific oral tolerance induction: in-hospital &quot;rush&quot; phase.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur Ann Allergy Clin Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur Ann Allergy Clin Immunol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Administration, Inhalation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anaphylaxis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bronchodilator Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desensitization, Immunologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epinephrine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk Hypersensitivity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18-25</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) is a promising approach in the treatment of severe food allergies. Different protocols have demonstrated its efficacy. Nevertheless, SOTI is still considered an experimental method and should be limited to highly controlled settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;To define the incidence and severity of adverse reactions, possible risk factors, and the safety and effectiveness of nebulized epinephrine as a first-line treatment of respiratory reactions during in-hospital SOTI for cow's milk allergy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients admitted for SOTI beginning in 2001. Reactions were classified as mild, moderate and severe on a partially modified Clark scale. Adverse reactions were treated following the International Guidelines with the introduction of nebulized epinephrine for level four reactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Of 209 patients, 17 were excluded due to the absence of objective reactions. The remaining 192 were classified as follows: Mild Reactions (Clark Scale 1 to 3): 100 patients received either no treatment, oral antihistamines or nebulized steroids; Moderate Reactions (Clark Scale 4): 87 patients treated with nebulized epinephrine and, depending on their symptoms, oral antihistamines, corticosteroids (nebulized, oral or IV) or nebulized beta 2 agonists; Severe Reactions (Clark Scale 5): 5 children, 4 of whom initially underwent one nebulization of epinephrine and eventually required an IM dose. The fifth patient was immediately treated with IM epinephrine due to hypotension.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;adverse reactions during this in-hospital SOTI protocol were frequent but easily manageable. Nebulized epinephrine can play a relevant role in the treatment of respiratory reactions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22519128?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Betterle, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghizzoni, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cassio, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baronio, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervato, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garelli, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonini, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmune-polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal-dystrophy in Calabria: clinical, immunological and genetic patterns.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Endocrinol Invest</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Diagnosis requires the presence of at least two of three major clinical features: chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, chronic hypoparathyroidism, and Addison's disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, we analyzed Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE) gene mutations and genotype-phenotype correlation in APECED patients originating from Calabria, a region in the south of Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Four patients and their first-degree relatives were evaluated for clinical manifestations, autoantibody presence and AIRE gene mutations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Three patients carried a homozygous W78R mutation on exon 2, typical of patients with APECED from Apulia; the fourth patient had a homozygous R203X mutation on exon 5, typical of APECED patients from Sicily. Clinical disease expression showed wide variability. Analysis of relatives allowed the identification of 6 heterozygotes, none of whom showed major findings of APECED.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;No AIRE gene mutations specific to Calabria were found in patients with APS-1, but mutations similar to those in patients from Apulia and Sicily. Heterozygosity for AIRE gene mutation is not associated with major findings of APECED.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22104652?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
