anaphylaxis/albumin

Six patients suffering from anaphylactoid reactions after infusion of pasteurized plasma (PP) or human serum albumin (HSA) were investigated. Clinical symptoms ranged from urticaria and hypotension to cardiac arrest. Immunoglobulin levels, especially of IgA, were normal, as were concentrations of

A 33-year-old woman without history of previous atopic diseases or drug allergies developed a severe anaphylactic reaction with asthma, vomiting, itching, generalized urticaria, and angioedema during artificial insemination with her husband's sperm. The sperm-processing medium contained bovine serum

OBJECTIVE The basic mechanisms of food allergies are still unknown. The aims of this study were to investigate whether endothelins (ETs) in the intestinal mucosa are involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal anaphylaxis. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were sensitized to chicken egg albumin (EA) by

A report is presented on systemic anaphylactic reaction [SAR] of rabbits to bovine serum albumin and ferritin. Active anaphylactic sensibilization with a high yield of sensibilized animals was achieved by administering antigens to rabbits aged a few hours up to 3 months. Tre rabbits showed no

A model of topically induced ocular anaphylaxis was developed. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were immunized by intraperitoneal injections of egg albumin (EA) and alum and topically challenged with EA. Application of EA induced clinical (conjunctival edema) and histologic (mast cell degranulation) signs

OBJECTIVE Interstitial fluid pressure (P(if)) plays an important role in controlling interstitial fluid volume. In the early phase of rapid edema formation, such as in dextran-induced anaphylaxis in the Wistar rat, P(if) falls from -0.5 mm Hg to a value between -5 and -10 mm Hg. It is believed that

BACKGROUND Folic acid (the synthetic form of folate B vitamins in foods) is widely used in vitamin supplements. Anaphylaxis from ingestion or injection of folic acid suggests IgE antibody-mediated mechanisms, but this has not been demonstrated previously in vitro. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted

A 59-year-old diabetic male patient undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting developed anaphylactoid shock after 5% human serum albumin (HSA) infusion started. During the first anastomosis, blood loss was more than 600 ml, with slightly decreased blood pressure. Therefore, 5% HSA, 250 ml,

The picture of rabbit systemic anaphylactic reaction to bovine serum albumin and ferritin is represented by tiny clusters of blood platelets and basophils in the microcirculation of different organs. Also present are signs of damage caused to the endothelium of different vessles, or to some of the

The changes in vascular albumin permeation induced by systemic anaphylaxis were studied simultaneously in 21 different tissues of the same animal. Before Ag challenge sensitized rats were injected i.v. with 125I-albumin (test tracer), 51Cr-RBC (vascular space marker) and 57Co-EDTA (extravascular

OBJECTIVE To increase the awareness of bovine serum albumin (BSA) sensitivity as a potentially lethal complication during ET. METHODS Case report. METHODS Routine ET in university hospital. METHODS A 26-year-old woman who was undergoing her first ET. METHODS ET with BSA containing standard fluid

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cause of the anaphylactic reaction after a standard artificial insemination process in a patient diagnosed with asthma. METHODS Case report. METHODS Residencia Sanitaria Virgen de la Arrixaca (Murcia, Spain) and University of the Basque Country (Vitoria, Spain). METHODS A

A patient who had a previous anaphylactoid reaction to albumin required plasma exchange for myasthenia gravis. She was rechallenged with albumin from a different manufacturer after premedication with diphenhydramine. No adverse reaction occurred during five exchanges over a 10-day period. Possible
