Emerging data suggests that the proportion of patients declaring an unverified PAL in secondary care in India and Sri Lanka (1%-4%) is lesser than that reported in High Income Countries (15%-20%). However, even this relatively small percentage translates into a large absolute number, as this part of the world accounts for approximately 25% of the global population. There is a huge unmet need for allergy specialists in India and Sri Lanka. Penicillin allergy management is further compromised by unavailability of skin test reagents, lack of formal training in drug allergy, pre-emptive, non-standardised and unregulated skin testing by untrained operators and a weak health service framework. This has an adverse impact on antimicrobial stewardship, particularly in the management of rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease, bacterial endocarditis, syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections. This narrative review highlights the burden of PALs in India and Sri Lanka, as well as gaps in the published literature.

Bernstein","doi":"10.1111/cea.14628","DOIUrl":"10.1111/cea.14628","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Previous ATP inhalation studies and clinical trials have demonstrated an anti-tussive effect of P2X3 antagonists, supporting the mechanism of purinergic P2X3 receptor activation leading to unexplained chronic cough (UCC). However, the role of TRP receptors in UCC is currently unclear. In this study, an interaction between P2X3 receptors on airway bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) and TRPA1 channels on upper airway nerves was explored in vitro as a potential mechanism for UCC (Figure 1A) [<span>1-3</span>]. It was hypothesised that irritants activating TRP channels can result in ATP release from airway nerves resulting in P2X3 receptor activation on adjacent airway epithelial cells [<span>3-6</span>]. To investigate the role of TRPA1 channel activation of P2X3 receptors, an indirect in vitro cell model was developed to demonstrate whether activation of TRPA1 channels expressed on neuronal cells result in ATP release that subsequently activates P2X3 receptors on adjacent BECs.</p><p>Dorsal root ganglion cells (DRGN, ND8/34 cell line, Sigma), known to express TRPA1 were used as a surrogate for airway neuronal cells [<span>7</span>]. Functional assays were performed on DRGNs to quantify TRPA1 activation using the TRPA1 specific agonist (JT010) by observing a change in fluorescence measured by [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i of 10% or greater from baseline under confocal microscopy. The DRGNs cultured on poly-Lysine coated plates and loaded with FLUO4, were preincubated in the presence or absence of the TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031 (EMD Milipore) and then treated with a TRPA1-specific agonist (JT010 100 nM, Tocris) (<i>n</i> = 3 experiments). Culture media from the DRGNs cell wells were collected after stimulation and assayed for ATP. ATP release in response to JT010-induced TRPA1 activation and its suppression by the TRPA1-antagonist, HC-030031, were quantified from the cell supernatant on a luminometer using the ATP Bioluminescence Assay Kit HS II (Roche). Additional information about study methods are available in the following repository (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.14244289).</p><p>Human bronchoepithelial cells (BEAS2B, ATCC), were used as a surrogate for airway epithelium. The effect of P2X3-receptor antagonist, MAF-454, in preventing activation of P2X3 receptors were determined by treating cultured BEAS2B cells with ATP disodium 4 μM (Sigma) stabilised with KOH in the presence and absence of MAF-454 preincubation. Differential gene expression (DEGs) in these samples versus untreated controls were determined using TaqMan rat inflammation array (Thermo Fisher). Pathway analysis, and upstream regulator analysis of the DEGs in the ATP-treated samples, compared to the MAF-454 preincubated ATP-treated samples were performed using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis platform (Qiagen).
