Respiratory Allergies and Asthma http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/asthma/ 1/5 Americans suffer from allergies 80% of those individuals exhibit respiratory allergies Symptoms: runny or stuffy nose, watery or itchy eyes, sneezing; can cause asthma Markers: eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, IgE
Asthma and Osteoporosis Up to 60%-80% children and 40% of adults with allergic rhinitis have asthma 1 Oral or inhaled corticosteroids are often used for the long-term management of asthma Patients on these treatments have higher prevalence of osteoporosis 3 Need: additional ways to both treat and prevent inflammation associated with asthma 1 Pawankar et al., APJ Allergy Imm 0 1; 00 Barnes et al., Respir Care Aug 1, 014 3 3 Li et al., Clin Inv Med 38 ; 015

Conclusions: As a preventative therapy, early childhood vaccination with PC-bearing bacteria may be a suitable therapy for HDM (and other PCbearing allergen)-induced airway disease As a treatment, anti-pc antibodies could help to dampen the development of airway disease May be a suitable therapy for asthma in place of corticosteroids 16
