The manifestations are usually limited to oral symptoms; however, sometimes, rhinitis, respiratory and skin symptoms, and anaphylactic shock may occur. In PFAS pathogenesis, when food containing protein antigens (pan-allergens) with high homology to pollen antigens is ingested, mast cells bound to pollen antigen-specific IgE distributed in the oral mucosa cross-react with the food antigen, causing a local type I allergic reaction. The prevalence of PFAS depends on the geographic conditions, such as the type and amount of pollen in the area. PFAS is prevalent in all regions owing to the wide variety of pollen antigens implicated in the disease, such as alder and grass pollen, even outside of the birch habitat area. Basic research on PFAS is expected to significantly contribute to elucidating the pathogenesis and development of therapeutic strategies for PFAS. Currently, effective treatment for patients with PFAS that allows safe consumption of raw foods is lacking, and avoiding the intake of causative foods is the basis of prevention. Furthermore, allergen immunotherapy for PFAS has not yet been established, but various attempts are underway to develop it into a novel treatment strategy.

Some N-ERD patients present with episodic treatment-resistant extra-respiratory symptoms (CysLT-associated coronary artery vasospasm, gastroenteritis, or skin rash). Even when using standard treatments for respiratory and extra-respiratory symptoms, including systemic corticosteroids and aspirin desensitization, it is difficult to control the clinical symptoms and severe type 2 inflammation involved with mast cells, eosinophils, ILC2s, and platelet activation. Few treatment options are applicable in a clinical setting. Therefore, identifying effective treatments is essential for managing N-ERD patients who suffer from these conditions. Our previous observational study demonstrated 12-month omalizumab treatment of N-ERD was clinically effective against respiratory symptoms. Despite the remaining eosinophilia, omalizumab significantly reduced urinary LTE<sub>4</sub> and PGD<sub>2</sub> metabolites to near normal levels at steady state. Based on the preliminary study, we demonstrated that omalizumab induced tolerance to aspirin in N-ERD patients 3 months after therapy initiation and suppressed activation of mast cells during 24 h of initiation in a randomized manner. Moreover, omalizumab had significant efficacy against extra-respiratory symptoms at baseline (lacking aspirin exposure) as well as throughout aspirin challenge. This review addresses the latest discoveries related to N-ERD pathogenesis and the significant effectiveness of omalizumab on N-ERD as a mast cell stabilizer. Our findings regarding omalizumab-associated mast cell inhibitory effects are indirect evidence that mast cell dysregulation and, possibly, IgE are pivotal components of N-ERD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48861,"journal":{"name":"Allergology International","volume":"74 1","pages":"Pages 51-65"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142478464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

P-i activation differs from classical antigen-driven immune reactions: a) drug binding induces structural changes in TCR-HLA proteins which make them look like allo-like TCR-HLA-complexes, able to elicit allo-like stimulations of T cells with cytotoxicity and IFNγ production, notably without the involvement of innate immunity; b) drug binding to TCR and/or HLA can increase the affinity of TCR-HLA interactions, which may affect signaling and IL-5 production by CD4+ T cells, and thus contribute to eosinophilia commonly found in dDHRs or induce oligoclonal T cell expansions; c) Both, antigen and p-i stimulations can induce eosinophil- or neutrophil-rich inflammations; but these stimulations should be distinguished as their underlying mechanism and development differ; and d) p-i stimulation can – like graft versus host reactions – result in long-lasting T-cell activations, which can lead to viremia, occasional autoimmunity, or a new syndrome characterized by multiple drug hypersensitivity (MDH).</div><div>In summary, dDHRs are not allergic reactions but represent peculiar T-cell activations, similar to allo-like stimulations.
