Quantitative Analysis of Immunoglobulin E Reactivity Profiles in Patients Allergic or Sensitized to Natural Rubber Latex (Hevea Brasiliensis)

Characterized native and recombinant Hevea brasiliensis (rHev b) natural rubber latex (NRL) allergens are available to assess patient allergen sensitization profiles. OBJECTIVE: Quantification of individual IgE responses to the spectrum of documented NRL allergens and evaluation of cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) for more definitive diagnosis. METHODS: Sera of 104 healthcare workers (HCW; 51 German, 21 Portuguese, 32 American), 31 spina bifida patients (SB; 11 German, 20 Portuguese) and 10 Portuguese with multiple surgeries (MS) were analysed for allergen-specific IgE antibody (sIgE) to NRL, single Hev b allergens and CCDs with ImmunoCAP technology. RESULTS: In all patient groups rHev b 5-sIgE concentrations were the most pronounced. Hev b 2, 5, 6.01 and 13 were identified as the major allergens in HCW and combined with Hev b 1 and Hev b 3 in SB. In MS Hev b 1 displayed an intermediate relevance. Different sIgE antibody levels to native Hevea brasiliensis (nHev b) 2 and rHev b 6.01 allowed discrimination of SB with clinical relevant latex allergy vs. those with latex sensitization. Sensitization profiles of German, Portuguese and American patients were equivalent. rHev b 5, 6.01 and nHev b 13 combined detected 100% of the latex-allergic HCW and 80.1% of the SB. Only 8.3% of the sera showed sIgE response to CCDs. CONCLUSIONS: Hev b 1, 2, 5, 6.01 and 13 were identified as the major Hev b allergens and they should be present in standardized latex extracts and in vitro allergosorbents. CCDs are only of minor relevance in patients with clinical relevant latex allergy. Component-resolved diagnostic analyses for latex allergy set the stage for an allergen-directed immunotherapy strategy

Distribuição e índice de infecção natural de triatomíneos capturados na região de Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil

Entre 1974 e 1981 em 53 municípios pertencentes à região administrativa de Campinas, SP, foram coletados pela SUCENe encaminhados ao laboratório deMogi- Guaçu, 36.406 triatomíneos, dos quais foram examinados 33.131 exemplares; destes, foram observados 3.176 (9,60%) infectados peloT. cruzi. No referente ao local de captura, constatou-se que 4.516 (12,40%), foram encontrados nas casas, sendo 1.827 (40,46%) habitadas e a grande maioria, 30.460 exemplares (83,67%) coletados em anexos de diferentes tipos e os 1.429 (3,92%) restantes em focos silvestres. A espécie predominante foi o P. megistus, com 33.263 exemplares capturados e também aquela de maior índice de infecção pelo T. cruzi (10, 26%).
