AGS occurs in individuals with a history of tick bites. Currently, no data exist on α-gal sIgE seroprevalence in the Dutch population, including those with tick bites or erythema migrans (EM). Therefore, this study aimed to determine the rate of α-gal sIgE seroprevalence in the Dutch population, to assess α-gal sIgE seroconversion after tick bites, and to determine the relationship between EM and α-gal sIgE in serum. α-Gal sensitisation rates were assessed in individuals with tick bites (TB), EM, and the general population. Blood samples were collected from TB- and EM-cases at baseline and again after 3 months. Single blood samples from controls were selected from a Dutch population survey. In total, 156 TB-cases, 160 EM-cases, and 316 population controls were included. α-Gal sensitisation rates were 1.9% for population controls and 10.3% and 19.1% for TB- and EM-cases at baseline, respectively (cut-off α-gal sIgE: ≥ 0.10 kU<sub>A</sub>/L). Rates increased to 17.9% for TB-cases, comparable to the 16.9% for EM-cases 3 months after EM-development. Distinct α-gal sensitisation rates were observed between TB- and EM-cases over a 3-month period. TB-cases showed a rising rate, while EM-cases had elevated rates at both time points. This difference is likely due to timing of the tick bite, with TB-cases having a recent bite and EM-cases developing EM days to weeks post-bite. Both groups had higher sensitisation rates than population controls, corroborating the link between tick bites and α-gal sensitisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":10207,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Allergy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143662447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, long-term real-world safety data is limited. Therefore, this study investigates the incidence of DAOSD in paediatric AD patients treated with dupilumab and identifies associated risk factors.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This prospective study included paediatric AD patients (aged 3-17 years) treated with dupilumab. Ocular symptoms were assessed every 4-12 weeks. DAOSD was initially treated with lubricating eye drops, antihistamine eye drops, and/or tacrolimus ointment for the external eyelids.

Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated that children growing up in farming/rural environments are less likely to develop these conditions. Over the past three decades, China has experienced unprecedented economic development and urbanisation, accompanied by a rapid rise in the prevalence of allergic disorders. Despite the substantial number of affected individuals, allergy management in China remains inconsistent and often inadequate, compounded by variations in diagnostic criteria and limited healthcare access in less developed regions. Furthermore, the vast population, regional disparities, and methodological inconsistencies in data collection have hindered the acquisition of comprehensive, large-scale epidemiological data. This review examines the factors contributing to asthma and allergies from their early origins, focusing on modifiable factors from a specific perspective of China. Factors related to traditional lifestyle, such as early-life exposure to agricultural farming and poultry, diverse dietary patterns, and early introduction of allergenic foods, appear to offer protection against allergies. Conversely, exposure to open-fire cooking, incense burning, tobacco smoke, as well as early-life antibiotic use and perinatal factors like Caesarean section delivery and prematurity may represent potential risks. A clear understanding of the role of these factors would pave the way for developing effective interventions to mitigate the substantial health and socioeconomic burdens associated with asthma and allergies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10207,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Allergy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143633920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
