In many countries, these tests are used for screening, with positive results being subsequently confirmed by treponemal or specific tests like TPHA or FTA-ABS. Recent observations of low-titer VDRL or RPR positivity (<1:8) or negative results in patients with clinically active syphilis are becoming a cause for concern especially in the backdrop of a resurgence of the disease. Such a scenario might undermine the usefulness of VDRL or RPR as effective screening test and for treatment monitoring. We studied the titers of non-treponemal serological test (VDRL) in non-HIV-positive, untreated cases of secondary syphilis (diagnosed clinically and confirmed serologically with specific treponemal tests like TPHA or FTA-ABS). It was an OPD-based cross-sectional study, which included patients presenting with muco-cutaneous lesions suggestive of secondary syphilis, confirmed serologically with positive specific treponemal tests, who were seronegative for HIV1 and 2 and had not received treatment with injectable benzathine penicillin. Their VDRL titers were noted. Information regarding duration of lesions and any previous genital ulcer was obtained, and additional information was sought regarding any medications taken during the last two months. Nineteen patients (12 males, 4 females, and 3 transgender individuals) between the ages of 18 and 46 years were included in the study. Ten of these cases (52.63%) had a VDRL titer of less than 1:8 (non-reactive in 5 patients, titer of 1:4 in 5 patients). Among the remaining nine cases, a titer of 1:8 was observed in six, 1: 16 in two, and 1:32 in one case. Our observations raise concerns regarding the possibility that a significant number of patients with active syphilis and potential to transmit the disease are being left untreated because of low or negative titers in the screening tests. This may account for the slow resurgence of syphilis as documented by increase in case rates and incidence of congenital syphilis in different parts of the world.</p>","PeriodicalId":13401,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology","volume":"69 6","pages":"486"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11642461/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142828421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the correlation of clinical food allergy with positive food allergens' sIgE results. We further discuss the significance of IgE as a potential biomarker for AD disease severity.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A total of 154 AD patients were collected from 15 hospitals nationwide in China from 2019 to 2021. Serum IgE was measured using reverse-enzyme immuno capture test (REAST). Patients were required to have at least one positive sIgE (N ≥ 0.35 IU/mL). Patients were divided into groups according to gender, age, disease severity, and region. SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Compared with adolescent and adult, AD in infancy and childhood showed significantly higher frequencies of positive sIgE to food allergens, including egg, cow milk, and wheat (P < 0.01). However, adolescent and adult AD showed significantly higher frequencies of positive sIgE to inhaled allergens, dermatophagoides farinae, and house dust mite. In addition, sIgE in different sexes were different. Compared with women, men showed higher frequencies of positive allergen-specific IgE level to wheat, dermatophagoides farinae, and house dust mite. The most common food allergens with elevated sIgE levels were egg (71%), cow milk (39%) and wheat (32%). However, AD patients reported seafood, including crab, shrimp, and fish, as the most frequent food allergens which aggravate their disease in their daily life. Only 18 (12%) patients reported definite correlation of clinical practice with positive food allergens' IgE results. Among 154 sIgE-positive patients, 99 patients had an increase of total IgE (≥60 IU/ml). TotalIgE (tIgE) levels were significantly different between mild (193 ± 239 IU/mL), moderate (170 ± 202 IU/mL), and severe (375 ± 343 IU/mL) forms of AD patients (P < 0.01).

AD patients with accompanied allergic diseases showed significantly higher tIgE levels than those without accompanied allergic symptoms. Infantile AD patients are more allergic to food, while adolescents and adults are more allergic to environmental antigens. IgE tests must be interpreted by combining with clinical history to avoid unnecessary food avoidance. Early food allergen introduction for infants may be promising for the prevention of food allergies.</p>","PeriodicalId":13401,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology","volume":"69 6","pages":"486"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11642463/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142828390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
