Allergic inflammation is commonly observed in a number of conditions that are associated with atopy including asthma, eczema and rhinitis.
HDM allergy is associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis.
A hallmark of atopic asthma is development of chronic airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR) that persists in the face of ongoing exposure to perennial...
Prospective birth cohort studies tracking asthma initiation and consolidation in community cohorts have identified viral infections occurring against a...
The aim of this study was to explore associations between severe respiratory infections and atopy in early childhood with persisting wheeze and asthma.
Information is accumulating which implicates airway inflammation resulting from respiratory viral infections, acting against a background of atopy.
In this study, using a mouse model, we determined whether vitamin D deficiency in utero and during early life modulated the severity of asthma.
