orblood-dwellinghelminthswillnotbefoundinthestool,serologictestsforantiparasiteantibodies shouldalsobesent.Suchtestsareavailableforstrongyloidiasis,toxocariasis,andtrichinellosis. DiagnosisatthetimeofpresentationwithLöfflersyndromecanbemadebydetectionofAscarislarvae inrespiratorysecretionsorgastricaspiratesbutnotstool. Peripheral blood smearandflowcytometryoflymphocytesubpopulationscanaidinthe diagnosisof hematologic malignancy. Bone marrow biopsy for pathologic, cytogenetic, andmolecular testing on bonemarrowand/orperipheralblood (e.g.,forFIP1L1/PDGFRA mutation)mayberequired. Serum vitamin B12 level may be elevated in myeloproliferative neoplasms and autoimmune
lymphoproliferativesyndrome. Evaluation for idiopathic HES should also consist of troponin measurement, echocardiogram, and ECG. Immunoglobulin levels are helpful if concerned for an immunodeficiency. Elevated immunoglobulin levelscanbefoundinL-HES. Atryptaselevelisnecessaryifmastocytosisisconsideredasacauseofeosinophilia.
IMAGING
CXRorCTfindingsmayalsohelptonarrowthedifferentialdiagnosis.
Peripheralinfiltrateswithcentralclearingareindicativeofchroniceosinophilicpneumonia. Diffuse infiltrates in an interstitial, alveolar, or mixed pattern may be seen in acute eosinophilic pneumoniaaswellasdrug-inducedeosinophiliawithpulmonaryinvolvement. Transient infiltrates may be seen in Löffler syndrome, EGPA, or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(ABPA). CentralbronchiectasisisamajorcriterioninthediagnosisofABPA. A diffuse miliary or nodular pattern, consolidation,or cavitation maybe found in cases of tropical pulmonaryeosinophilia. ACTofthesinuses,nerveconductionstudies,andtestingforp-ANCAmaybehelpfulinthediagnosis ofeosinophilicgranulomatosiswithpolyangiitis(EGPA).
DIAGNOSTICPROCEDURES
If no other cause ofpulmonaryinfiltrates hasbeenidentified,a bronchoscopy may be necessaryfor analysis ofbronchoalveolar lavage(BAL) fluidandlungtissue.Thepresenceofeosinophils inBAL fluid or sputum witheosinophilic infiltration ofthe parenchyma is most typical of acute or chronic eosinophilicpneumonia. SkinbiopsywillaidindiagnosingthecutaneouseosinophilicdiseasesandEGPA.
TREATMENT
Mildeosinophiliawithnoevidenceofend-organdamagemaynotneedtreatment. Oral steroids are indicatedwhen thereis evidenceoforganinvolvement.However,strongyloidiasis mustbeexcludedbeforeadministrationofsteroidstopreventhyperinfectionsyndrome. Whenadrugreactionissuspected,discontinuationofthedrugisbothdiagnosticandtherapeutic.Other treatment options depend on the exact cause of eosinophilia because, with the exception of HES, eosinophiliaisamanifestationofanunderlyingdisease. HES: Patients with marked eosinophilia with no organ involvement may have a benign course. In contrast, those with organ involvement and FIP1L1/PDGFRA-associated disease may have an extremelyaggressivecoursewithouttreatment.

Monitoringandearlyinitiationofhigh-doseglucocorticoidsshouldbepursuedinallpatientsexcept
thosewhohavetheFIP1L1/PDGFRAfusiongene.
Patients with the FIP1L1/PDGFRA fusion mutation should be started on imatinib mesylate
(Gleevec), a tyrosinekinase inhibitor.Treatmentshould be initiated promptlyin these patients to

UrticariaandAngioedema
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Definition
Urticaria(hives)areraised,erythematous,well-demarcatedpruriticskinlesions.Centralclearingcan cause an annular lesion andis often seenafter antihistamine use. Anindividual lesionusuallylasts minutestohours. Angioedema is swelling of the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It is oftenpainful rather than pruritic andgenerallylasts less than 48hours. It canbefoundanywhere on the bodybutmostoften involvesthetongue,lips,eyelids,throat,bowels,and/orgenitals.
Classification
Acute urticaria (with or without angioedema) is defined as the occurrence of hives and/or angioedema lasting<6 weeks.Itcanbe causedby anallergic reaction to a medication,food,insect sting, or exposure(contactor inhalation) to anallergen. Patientscandevelop ahypersensitivity toa food,medication,orself-careproductthatpreviouslyhadbeenusedwithoutdifficulty.Inmanycases ofacuteurticaria,noidentifiabletriggercanbefound. Chronic urticaria (with or without angioedema) is defined as the occurrence of hives and/or angioedema for >6 weeks. There are many possible causes of chronic urticaria and angioedema, including medications,autoimmunity,self-careproducts,andphysicaltriggers.However,the etiology remainsunidentifiedin>80%ofcases.
Epidemiology
Urticariaisacommonconditionthataffects15%–24%oftheUSpopulationatsometimeintheirlife. Chronic idiopathic urticaria occurs in approximately 1% of the US population, and there does not appeartobeanincreasedriskinpersonswithatopy.
14
Angioedemaoccursin40%–50%ofpatientswithurticaria.
https://t.me/med1917
Etiology
IgE-mediated:drugs,foods,stingingandbitinginsects,latex,inhalant,orcontactallergens Non–IgE-mediated:narcotics,musclerelaxants,radiocontrast,vancomycin,NSAIDs,ACEinhibitors Transfusionreactions Infections(i.e.,viral,bacterial,parasitic) Systemic disorders: autoimmune diseases, malignancy, mastocytosis, HES, cryoglobulinemia, and hereditarydiseases Physicalurticaria:dermographism,cold,cholinergic,pressure,vibratory,solar,andaquagenic Idiopathic
Pathophysiology
Mostformsofurticariaandangioedemaarecausedbythedegranulationofmastcellsorbasophilsand thereleaseofinflammatorymediators.Histamineistheprimarymediatorandelicitsedema(wheal)and erythema(flare).HAEandrelatedsyndromesaremediatedbytheoverproductionofbradykininandare notresponsivetoantihistamines.
DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosisisbasedoncompletehistoryandphysicalexaminationwithcharacteristicskinlesions.
ClinicalPresentation
Patientswithanacuteurticariaepisodepresentwithhistoryofpruritic,raised,erythematouslesions. Individuallesionsresolveoveraperiodof1–24hours. Angioedema usuallypresentswith painful swelling without pruritus. Theswellingcantakeupto72 hourstoresolve. Physicalurticariaisinducedbyenvironmentalorphysicalstimuli.Thecommontriggersarecold,heat, sweating, exercise, pressure, vibration, andsunlight. Dermographism, literally“skin writing,”is the most common form of physical urticaria. It affects approximately 4% of the population and can be elicitedbybrisklystrokingorscratchingskin.
HISTORY
A detailed history should elicit identifiable triggers and rule out any systemic causes. When the individual skin lesion lasts longer than 48 hours, the diagnosis of urticarial vasculitis must be investigatedbyaskinbiopsy. Anychangesinenvironmentalexposures, foods, medications, personalcare products, etc. shouldbe determined. Itisimportanttodifferentiatefromanaphylaxis,whichaffectsorgansotherthantheskin,asthiswillbe treateddifferently(see“Anaphylaxis”section).
PHYSICALEXAMINATION
Completeexaminationoftheaffectedandnonaffectedskin. Urticariaappearsaserythematous,raisedlesionsthatblanchwithpressure. Angioedemaappearsasswelling;canofteninvolvetheface,tongue,extremities,orgenitalia;andmay beasymmetric.
https://t.me/med1917
DifferentialDiagnosis
IgE-mediatedallergicreactiontodrugs,foods,insects,inhalant,orcontactallergen. Non–IgE-mediated drug and food reactions (i.e., medications including NSAIDs, vancomycin, radioactiveiodine,opiates,musclerelaxants,foodsincludingtomatoesandstrawberries). Pruriticurticarialpapulesandplaquesofpregnancy. Mast cell release syndromes(i.e., systemic mastocytosis, cutaneous mastocytosis including urticaria pigmentosa). Cutaneoussmall-vesselvasculitis(i.e.,urticarialvasculitis,systemiclupuserythematosus). HES. Toxicdrugeruptions. Allergiccontactdermatitis(i.e.,poisonivy,poisonoak). Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and Muckle–Wellssyndrome. Angioedemawithouturticariashouldleadtoconsiderationofspecificentities.
Use of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) can be associated with
angioedemaatanypointinthecourseoftherapyandcanoccurupto6weeksafterlastexposure.
HAE,orC1INHdeficiency,isinheritedinanautosomaldominantpattern;25%ofcasesarisefrom
denovomutations.
Acquired C1 INH deficiency presents similarly to HAE but is typically associated with an
underlyinglymphoproliferativedisorder,connectivetissuedisease,orotherneoplasias.
DiagnosticTesting
Epicutaneousskintestingandpatchtestingareonlyindicatedwhensymptomsareassociatedwith specifictriggers.
LABORATORIES
Routine laboratory testing in the absence of a clinical history is rarely helpful in determining an etiologyinchronicurticaria.Evaluationforsystemicdiseaseassociatedwithchronicurticariaincludes CBCwithdifferential,CRPorESR,thyroid-stimulatinghormone,renalandhepaticprofiles. Autologousserumskintesting,assaysforbasophilhistaminerelease,andautoantibodiestoIgEandthe high-affinityIgEreceptorareavailable,buttheutilityofthesetestshasnotbeenestablished. All patients with angioedema without urticaria should be screened with a C4 level, which is reducedduringandbetweenattacksofHAE.IftheC4levelisreduced,aquantitativeandfunctional C1INHassayshouldbeperformed.MeasuringC1INHlevelsaloneisnotsufficientbecause15%of patientshavenormallevelsofadysfunctionalC1INHprotein;therefore,itisimportanttoalsoobtain thefunctionalassay. AcquiredC1INHdeficiencypatientshavereducedC1q,C1INHlevelandfunction,andC4levelsdue toanautoantibodytoC1INH.
DIAGNOSTICPROCEDURES
A skin biopsyshould be performed if individual lesions persist for>24 hours torule outurticarial vasculitis.
TREATMENT
https://t.me/med1917
Theideal treatmentofacuteurticaria withor withoutangioedemaisidentificationand avoidance of specific causes. All potential causes should be eliminated. Most cases of acuteurticaria are self- limitedandresolvespontaneously. Carefulconsiderationshouldbegiventotheeliminationorsubstitutionofeachprescriptionorover- the-countermedication or supplement.Ifapatientreactstoonemedicationina class,thereaction likelywill be triggered byall medications inthat class. Exacerbatingagents (e.g.,NSAIDs, opiates, vancomycin, and alcohol) should be avoided because they may induce nonspecific mast cell degranulationandexacerbateurticariacausedbyotheragents.
Medications
Ifacuteurticariaisassociatedwithadditionalsystemicsymptomssuchashypotension,laryngeal edema,orbronchospasm,treatmentwithepinephrine(0.3–0.5mLofa1:1000solutionIM)shouldbe administeredimmediately.See“Anaphylaxis”sectionforadditionalinformation.
ACUTEURTICARIAAND/ORANGIOEDEMA
Second-generation antihistamines such as cetirizine, fexofenadine, or loratadine should be administered to patients until the hives have cleared. Higher than conventional, US FDA–approved dosesmayprovidemoreefficacy.Afirst-generation antihistaminesuchashydroxyzinemaybeadded asaneveningdoseifneededtoobtaincontrolinrefractorycases.H2antihistamines,suchasranitidine,
mayalsobeaddedtotheabovetreatment. Oral corticosteroids should be reserved for patients with moderate to severe symptoms. Corticosteroidswillnothaveanimmediateeffectbutmaypreventrelapse. If a patientpresentswith systemic symptoms, self-administeredepinephrineshouldbe prescribedfor useinthecaseofanaphylaxis.
CHRONICURTICARIA
Useofasecond-generationH1antihistamineonceortwicedaily(uptofourtimesdaily). If noresponse,thencanaddH2antihistamine,leukotrienereceptor antagonist,and/or first-generation H1antihistamineordoxepintobetakenatbedtime. If continuedurticaria, thencanchooseanalternative suchasomalizumab (FDA approved for patient
withchronicurticariathatfailH1antihistaminetherapy),cyclosporine,hydroxychloroquine,dapsone, orotherimmunosuppressants.
Optimaldurationoftherapyhasnotbeenestablished;taperingmedicationsafter3–6monthsof symptomcontrolhasbeensuggested.
HEREDITARYANDACQUIREDANGIOEDEMA(DISORDEROFC1INHIBITOR)
Acute attacks: C1 inhibitorconcentrate, icatibant,andecallantide are first-lineagents.Ifnoneofthe first-lineagentsareavailable,freshfrozenplasmacanbeused.Alsopursuesymptomatictherapyand rehydration. Preventative medications include C1 inhibitor replacement via IV or SC, lanadelumab, berotralstat, attenuatedandrogens,andantifibrinolytics.
Referral
Allpatientswithchronicurticariaorahistoryofanaphylaxisshouldbereferredtoanallergyspecialist
https://t.me/med1917
forevaluationtoidentifypotentialallergicandautoimmunetriggers.
Immunodeficiency
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Definition
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are disorders of the immune system that result in an increased susceptibilitytoinfection. Secondary immunodeficiencies are also disorders of increased susceptibility to infection but are attributabletoanexternalsource.
Classification
PIDscanbeorganizedbythedefectiveimmunecomponentswithconsiderableheterogeneityineach disorder.
Predominantlyantibodydeficiencies:Thedefectisprimarilyintheabilitytomakeantibodies.
Commonvariableimmunedeficiency(CVID)

Chronicgranulomatousdisease(CGD)
Complementdeficiencies Diseases of immune dysregulation: Autoimmunity and lymphoproliferation are characteristic
manifestationsinthesedisorders.
Epidemiology
Secondary immunodeficiency syndromes, particularly HIV/AIDS, are the most common immunodeficiencydisorders. TheestimatedprevalenceofPIDsisapproximately1in1200livebirths. MostPIDspresentinginadulthoodarehumoralimmunedefectsaffectingantibodyproduction.
https://t.me/med1917
Etiology
PredominantlyantibodyimmunedeficienciesarethoughttobecausedbydefectsinB-cellmaturation. Combined immunodeficiencies are caused by defective T-cell–mediated immunity and associated antibodydeficiency. AvarietyofgeneticmutationshavebeenassociatedwithspecificPIDsyndromes. Secondary immunodeficiencies can be caused by medications (chemotherapy, immunomodulatory agents, corticosteroids), infectious agents (e.g., HIV), malignancy, antibody loss (e.g., nephrotic syndrome, protein losing enteropathy, or consumption during a severe underlying infection), autoimmune disease (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis), malnutrition (vitamin D),andotherunderlyingdiseases(e.g.,diabetesmellitus,cirrhosis,uremia).
DIAGNOSIS
ClinicalPresentation
The hallmark of PID is recurrent infections. Clinical suspicion should be increased by recurrent sinopulmonaryinfection,deep-seatedinfections,opportunisticinfections,ordisseminatedinfectionsin anotherwisehealthypatient. SpecificPIDsareoftenassociatedwithparticulartypesofpathogens(e.g.,catalase-positiveinfections inCGDorMSMD). RecurrenturinarytractinfectionsareonlyrarelyassociatedwithPID. PatientswithPIDsmayalso presentwithautoimmunity, immunedysregulation,allergicdiseases,and malignancies. SelectiveIgAdeficiencyisthemostcommonimmunedeficiency,withaprevalenceof1in300–500 people.
Mostpatientsare asymptomatic.Some maypresentwith recurrentsinusandpulmonaryinfections.
TherapyisdirectedatearlytreatmentwithantibioticsbecauseIgAreplacementisnotavailable.
Associated autoimmune diseases are observed in 20%–30% of cases. Absolute IgA-deficient
patients(i.e.,<7mg/dL)areatriskfordevelopingaseveretransfusionreactiontobloodproducts
including IV immunoglobulin (IVIG), because of thepresence of IgE anti-IgA antibodies in some
individuals;therefore, thesepatientsshould betransfused withwashed redblood cellsor receive
bloodproductsonlyfromIgA-deficientdonors. CVID is the most common symptomatic PID, occurring with a frequency of 1/25,000. It includes a heterogeneousgroupofdisordersinwhichmostpatientspresentinthesecondtofourthdecadeoflife withrecurrentsinusandpulmonaryinfectionsandarediscoveredtohavelowanddysfunctionalIgG, IgA,and/orIgMantibodieswithpoorresponsetoimmunizations.
B-cellnumbersareoftennormal,butthereisdecreasedabilitytoproduceimmunoglobulinbecause
ofthelackofisotype-switchedmemoryBcells.SomepatientsmayalsoexhibitT-celldysfunction.
CVID is largely idiopathic, although there are molecular defects in the B-cell signaling and
developmentpathways(e.g.,TACI,ICOS,BAFF-R,andCD19)withsomeformsofthedisorder.
PatientswithCVIDareparticularlysusceptibletoinfectionwithencapsulatedorganisms.
Patientsmayhaveassociatedgastrointestinaldiseaseorautoimmuneabnormalities(mostcommonly
autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, pernicious anemia, and
rheumatoidarthritis).
Thereisanincreasedincidenceofmalignancy,especiallylymphoidandgastrointestinalmalignancy.
TherapyconsistsofIVIGor subcutaneousimmunoglobulin(SCIG)replacement therapyaswell as
prompttreatmentofinfectionswithantibiotics.
https://t.me/med1917
Specific antibody deficiency is defined as poor or absent antibody responses to polysaccharide antigens(i.e.,23-valentpneumococcalvaccine)inthesettingofnormallevelsofimmunoglobulinsand IgGsubclasses.
B-cell numbers and response to protein antigens (i.e., tetanus toxoid and diphtheria toxoid) are
usuallynormal.
Patients have increased susceptibility to sinopulmonary infections. Allergic diseases are also
common.
Therapeutic approaches include adequate antibiotic treatment for infections, pneumococcal
conjugatevaccine,andimmunoglobulinreplacement. X-linked (Bruton) agammaglobulinemia clinically manifests very similarly to severe CVID and is typicallydiagnosedinchildhood,butcanpresentinadulthood.
PatientsusuallyhavelowlevelsofallimmunoglobulintypesandverylowlevelsofBcells.
SpecificgeneticdefectisinBrutontyrosinekinase,whichisinvolvedinB-cellmaturation. Subclassdeficiency. Deficiencies ofeachof the IgGsubclasses (IgG1, IgG2,IgG3, andIgG4) have beendescribed.
ThesepatientspresentwithsimilarcomplaintsastheCVIDpatients.
Total IgG levels may be normal. A strong association with IgA deficiency exists. There is
disagreementas towhetherthis isaseparateentityfrom CVID.Inmostcases,thereisnoneedto
evaluateIgGsubclasslevels.
Isolatedsubclassdeficiencywithoutrecurrentinfectionsisofunknownclinicalsignificance. Hyper-IgMsyndromeischaracterizedbylowIgAandIgGlevelswithnormalorincreasedIgMand poor antibody function. There are several gene mutations reported, which cause defective class switchinginimmunoglobulins.Dependingonthemutation,somepatientsmayhavepoorT-cellfunction aswell,leadingtoincreasedopportunisticinfections. Hyper-IgEsyndrome (Job syndrome) is characterizedbyrecurrent pyogenic infections ofthe skin andlowerrespiratorytract.Thissyndromecanresultinsevereabscessandempyemaformation.Some formsofthediseaseareassociatedwithautosomaldominantmutationofSTAT3.
ThemostcommonorganisminvolvedisS.aureus,butotherbacteriaandfungihavebeenreported.
Patientspresentwithrecurrentinfectionsandhaveassociatedpruriticdermatitis,coarse(lion-like)
facies,growthretardation,scoliosis,retentionofprimaryteeth,andhyperkeratoticnails.
Laboratorydatareveal thepresence ofnormal levels ofIgG, IgA,andIgM butmarkedlyelevated
levelsofIgE.Amarkedincreaseintissueandbloodeosinophilsmayalsobeobserved. ComplementdeficienciesareabroadcategoryofPIDcharacterizedbyrecurrentinfectionstoarange ofpathogens.
Recurrent disseminated Neisseria infections are associated with a deficiency in the terminal
complementsystem(C5–C9).
Systemic lupus–like disorders and recurrent infection with encapsulated organisms have been
associatedwithdeficienciesinothercomponentsofcomplement.
CH50 and AH50 are useful to screen for deficiencies of the classical pathway and alternative
pathway,respectively. CGDischaracterizedbydefectivekillingofintracellularpathogensbyneutrophils.
Patients usually present with frequent infection, often with abscesses, from S. aureus and other
catalase-positive organisms. Aspergillus is a particularly troublesome pathogen for patients with
CGD.

interferon-γandIL-12 signaling. Characteristicinfectionsincludemycobacterial infections(including typicalandatypicalMycobacterium)andSalmonellainfections.
DiagnosticTesting
Frequentsinopulmonaryinfections,recurrentandinvasiveinfectionsrequiringIVantimicrobialagents, infectionswithunusualpathogens,andfamilyhistoryofPIDarewarningsignsforPIDs. Initialevaluationshouldfocusonidentifyingpossiblesecondarycausesofrecurrentinfectionsuchas allergy, medications,andanatomic abnormalities. Workup begins with a CBC with differential, HIV test, quantitative immunoglobulin levels, and complement levels. Often the evaluation will need to include enumeration of lymphocytes by flow cytometryif B-, T-, or NK-cell defects are suspected. Otherspecializedtestsincludinggenetictestingmaybeneededtomakeadefinitivediagnosis. If clinical suspicion is high for an underlying antibody-predominant PID, B-cell function can be assessed by measuring immunoglobulin response to vaccinations. Preimmunization and postimmunization titers for both a protein antigen (i.e., tetanus) and a polysaccharide antigen (i.e., Pneumovax, theunconjugated 23-valent vaccine) are measuredbecause proteinsandpolysaccharide antigensarehandleddifferentlybytheimmunesystem. Titersofspecificantibodiesaremeasuredbeforeandat4–8weeksafterimmunization. Genetictestingcanalsobeperformed.
TREATMENT
KilledorsubcomponentvaccinesaresafeformostpatientswithPID,althoughsomepatientsmaynot producefullresponse.LiveattenuatedvaccinesmaybecontraindicatedinsomeindividualswithPID andtheirfamilies. ProphylacticantibioticsmaybeconsideredinsomePIDsyndromestopreventinfections. IgAdeficiency:Nospecifictreatmentisavailable.However,thesepatientsshouldbepromptlytreated atthefirstsignofinfectionwithanantibioticthatcoversStreptococcuspneumoniaeorHaemophilus
influenzae.
CVID should be treated with immunoglobulin replacement in forms of IVIG or SCIG. Numerous preparationsofimmunoglobulinareavailable,allofwhichundergoviralinactivationsteps.Possible side effects include myalgias, vomiting, chills, and lingering headache (due to immune complex– mediatedasepticmeningitis).
Referral
PatientsinwhomaPIDisbeingseriouslyconsideredshouldundergoevaluationbyanallergist/clinical immunologistwithexpertiseindiagnosingandtreatingPID.
