Allergic diseases and asthma: a global public health concern and a call to action
The prevalence of allergic diseases and asthma are increasing worldwide, particularly in low and middle income countries. Moreover, the complexity and severity of allergic diseases, including asthma, continue to increase especially in children and young adults, who are bearing the greatest burden of these trends.
Meteorological conditions, climate change, new emerging factors, and asthma and related allergic disorders. A statement of the World Allergy Organization
For many years, most of the information and research in the field of allergy came from developed countries in both the northern and southern hemispheres. In contrast, knowledge about allergies and asthma in low and middle income countries in the tropical areas is relatively low; nonetheless, more insights on the burden, triggers, and management of these have increased over the last decades.
Otitis media with effusion and atopy: is there a causal relationship?
Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is an intractable form of otitis media characterized by the presence of a highly viscous yellow effusion containing eosinophils. EOM shows a very high rate of association with asthma. It is resistant to conventional treatments for otitis media. However, EOM associated with adult-onset asthma has been shown to improve following optimal asthma therapy [16, 17]. EOM predominantly affects women in their fifties.
Sublingual immunotherapy: World Allergy Organization position paper 2013 update
Nonetheless, many studies have found that the majority of patients consulting allergy practices have moderate to severe intermittent or persistent rhinitis, and thus it is likely that most patients enrolled in AIT RCTs by allergy specialists have moderate to severe symptoms [ 215 ]. Most large AIT RCTs require participants to have had moderate to severe symptoms in previous years.

A WAO - ARIA - GA²LEN consensus document on molecular-based allergy diagnostics
In the late 1960s, the discovery of the immunoglobulin (IgE) antibody provided a specific biomarker that could be used to identify allergic diseases triggered by environmental allergens (i.e., generally proteins). Traditional IgE antibody tests such as skin prick tests (SPT) or in vitro specific IgE (sIgE) tests are based on crude extracts composed of allergenic and non-allergenic molecules obtained from an allergenic source.
