The immune system, which protects our body from diseases, may also react against substances that are not normally harmful in some people. In atopic, that is, "allergic body", IgE type antibodies are formed against allergens as a result of repetitive encounters of the immune system with allergens.This process is called "sensitization". After the sensitization process is completed, after each contact with the allergen, signs of allergic disease occur in a short time. These events develop through mediators secreted by a group of cells called mast cells and basophils, which carry allergen-specific IgE antibodies. These mediators (especially histamine, etc.) Allergy findings of target organs (such as eyes, nose, respiratory tract) occur with the effect of a group of biochemical substances such asWhat are the Allergic Disease Findings?Urticaria - AngioedemaSkin Urticaria: It is itchy bumps of different sizes.It is also called “hives” or “dabaz”.Angioedema: Fluid accumulation in the lower layers of the skin, that is, swelling that occurs with edema. It usually occurs on the face, eyelids, lips and genital area.Eyes and upper respiratory tract; Redness and itching in the eyes,Nasal congestion or runny nose, itchy nose and sneezing.In the lower respiratory tract; Difficulty in breathing, Wheezing (wheezing), Cough.In the cardiovascular system; Palpitation (increased heart rate),low blood pressureIn the gastrointestinal tract, Nausea – vomiting,Abdominal pain or abdominal cramps.In the nervous system; clouding of consciousness,Fainting Anaphylaxis (allergic shock) Although rare, all of these findings belonging to all systems can be seen together and it is called anaphylaxis. It is the most severe form of allergic reaction.
What Are Allergic Diseases?
Although the mechanisms that initiate the allergy are generally the same, clinical findings vary according to the affected organ. Allergic diseases are named according to the findings and the affected tissue and organ system.Common allergic diseases are:allergic rhinitisallergic conjunctivitisAsthma (bronchial asthma)food allergydrug allergybee allergyiAtopic dermatitisUrticaria and angioedemalatex allergy
With the arrival of spring, some changes occur in nature. One of these changes is the pollen that is released into the air and spread by the wind for the fertilization event seen among the plants of the same species. Pollen is colloquially known as pollen. These pollens are more intense in April-June. Pollen allergy negatively affects the work and school life of many people.Substances that cause pollen allergies are the pollen of many plants, such as trees, shrubs, grasses, cereals, herbs and (less often) flowers. Pollen allergies can trigger the following symptoms:Nose: Sneezing, sneezing, rhinitis (swelling of the nasal membranes, nasal congestion, and difficulty breathing) Eyes: Itching, redness, watering, swelling (conjunctivitis) Respiratory System: Cough, phlegm breathing (bronchitis), acute respiratory distress, asthmaSkin : Itching and irritation (eczema, hives, neurodermatitis) Digestive System (Rarely): Gas, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal painHead: MigrainePollen allergies are called respiratory allergies because we get pollen with the air we breathe. They are classified according to the times of the year when the highest pollen counts occur:Early bloomers (e.g. alder and hazelnuts) Spring blooms in summer (e.g. birch, beech, herbs) Summer blooms (e.g. herbs and cereals) late bloomers (e.g. wormwood and nettle)Flowering periods, as a rule, are between December and October. In addition to full bloom periods, individual pollen seasons and problems caused by pollen depend entirely on climatic and regional factors.
Food good is a reaction that causes a corrosive base and is diagnosed by various observations. In a frenzied system to have a response in the immune system, this may be to protect against extreme insanity. It is 6% in children and 15% in education. It is seen at a rate of 1%. Although it can have a food style, most; cow products, peanuts, fish and shellfish type products can be listed. In food-buying situations, he has the means to go.Progress from food can be suspected if, after reinstatement of certain food, it appears like:Surveillance: Hives, Skin: Redness of the skin of your glasses, under custody, the front of your glasses, the front of your face, the pitch of your voice, you may be the preliminaries of the tongue preparations, the ostentatiousness of the nasal mucous membranes (eg: Stomach vehicle, crampons, military vehicle, air gear, chest, gaseous respiratory System (Rarely): Braid, sound and wheezing in soldiers and lifting gearFood grades and ongoing colorants in related programs (displayed, etc.). A complete (analysis) is required for the purpose of the reason for this.
Many furry animals, including pets, can cause allergic reactions. The human body can react to allergens (proteins) found in the fat, saliva and urine of animals, in addition to the hairs on the hair. These are tiny particles in the air that mix with other dusts. This can cause allergic reactions when air is inhaled. Dust emitted from horse, dog and cat contains 10-20 kinds of substances that can cause allergies.Animal allergy can be suspected if symptoms such as the following appear after direct or natural contact with animals or animal products (leather, hide, wool, etc.):Nose: Sneezing, sneezing, rhinitis (swelling of the nasal membranes, nasal congestion, and difficulty breathing) Eyes: Itching, redness, watering, swelling (conjunctivitis) Respiratory System: Cough, phlegm breathing (bronchitis), acute respiratory distress, asthmaSkin : Itching and irritation (eczema, urticaria, neurodermatitis) Digestive System (Rarely): Gas, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain.To diagnose animal allergy, it will be necessary to go through stages such as skin, blood and provocation tests for the nose and/or bronchial mucous membranes.Conditions that trigger animal allergies; may occur by direct contact with animals or by contact with substances containing allergens (clothes, flooring, mats, pillows, materials, carpets, etc.) and indirectly by breathing in dust containing allergens.In principle, you can have an allergic reaction to any furry or furry animal if you are sensitive to allergens. Allergic reactions can be in the form of mild itching, or they can be severe (asthma) depending on the sensitivity and aggressiveness of the allergens. The type of animal, the frequency of contact with the animal and proximity to the animal (such as pets) will play a decisive role. Generally, animals such as cats, dogs, birds, horses, cattle are more allergen-aggressive animals compared to other animals. It can sometimes take months for a serious allergy to appear.
It is a reaction that occurs in people with allergies. When people's skin or mucous membranes (especially eyes, nose, lungs, mouth, anus and vagina) encounter this substance, some chemicals such as histamine are released in the body and cause various reactions. Latex allergy is a reaction that occurs in people with allergic structure. If a person is allergic to latex, they may also be allergic to other rubber products. Because most of these products contain latex.What Exactly Is Latex? Some tropical plants contain latex, which is a milk-like liquid.The most well-known of these is the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), which is the raw material of rubber products.a) Latex allergy in the respiratory tract: It is triggered by the proteins carried by the powder in the latex gloves. This allergy can cause a runny nose, burning and redness of the eyes, and asthma. Even the use of powdered gloves in a doctor's office is sufficient to cause this allergy, as it will cause the latex proteins to disperse into the air.b) Urticaria caused by latex contact: It can also cause hives, asthma, runny nose and itchy eyes.Symptoms of the aforementioned syndromes usually appear between 5 and 30 minutes after first contact with latex. The most dangerous consequence may be anaphylactic shock. If such symptoms occur after contact with latex-containing materials, you should consult a doctor or an allergist for proper diagnosis.
Mold is usually caused by fungi found in expired food products and in places that come into contact with water. Although the appearance of these mushrooms is similar, they actually have different characteristics. Molds that will form due to the rotting of fabrics or other items on damp surfaces and molds found on food products and basement walls have different characteristics.Allergens in the form of mold spores or spore chains enter our body mainly through our respiratory tract through moldy food and by direct skin contact. Mold allergens can trigger the following symptoms:Nose: Sneezing, sneezing, rhinitis (swelling of the nasal membranes, nasal congestion and difficulty breathing) Eyes (less often): Itching, redness, watering, swelling (conjunctivitis) Respiratory System: Cough, difficulty breathing with phlegm (bronchitis), acute respiratory distress, asthma (often) Skin: Itching and irritation (eczema urticaria neurodermatitis) Digestive System (often): Gas, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal painHead (less often): MigraineMold spores act as "internal" and "external allergens". Mold is especially common in damp, hot, poorly ventilated, damp cellars and basements, bathrooms, cold and damp exterior walls, wallpaper, behind cabinets, behind picture frames, carpets, humidifiers, air-conditioning systems, flower pots, irrigated plant soils, coolers and so on. occurs in places such as It also occurs on foodstuffs (fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, etc.). Mold enzymes are also used in the food processing industry.Mold spores can often reach very distant places in the open air together with spores. It can be used in grass, compost manure, leaves, animal manure, grains, etc. is found. If you can regularly record your symptoms and possible sources of mold3, your doctor can gain insight into mold allergy. As a result of the blood, skin and provocation tests to be performed on this, it will be confirmed whether you have mold allergy or not.
The house dust beetle found in house dust is called mite. Mites are the most common cause of allergies after pollen among respiratory allergens. mites; They are transparent, thin, spider-like, invisible insects, about 3 microns in size. They can be detected with the aid of a microscope.Two important mite species important for allergiesDermatophagoides pteronysinus (d1)Dermatophagoides farinae (d2)They use human skin and debris as their main source of nutrition. They need a temperature of about 30 -34°C and a humidity of 60-80% to survive. Therefore; They are mostly found in woolen and cotton goods, carpets, beds, pillows, sofas, furry clothes and toys. There are 2000-15000 mites in 1 g of house dust taken from these regions. The main substance that causes allergies is the excrement of mites. Since these are the size of flower pollen, they can fly easily and cause allergic reactions in the person who breathes this air. A mite can produce about 200 times its own weight in feces during its 2-4 months of life. Complaints in allergy due to mites are nasal congestion, runny nose, shortness of breath (asthma), and rarely itching-redness of the eye, which starts after waking up from sleep.Advice on protection from house dust allergenMattress, pillow, quilt etc. items must not be cotton, wool or down. Fiber ones should be preferred.There should be no carpeting, especially on the bedroom floor, and other carpets should be used as little as possible.Bed linen should be changed every 4-5 days and washed above 60 °C.Curtains should be made of easily washable fabrics.There should be no bookcase in the bedroom, which can be a source of house dust.Rooms should be sunbathed and ventilated frequently.Instead of upholstered furniture, leather, wooden or vinyl furniture should be used as much as possible.It should be cleaned at least once a week with vacuum cleaners with a special HEPA filter.
