Nonlinear relations between house dust mite allergen levels and mite sensitization in farm and nonfarm children (Publications)
of mite sensitization for medium and high when compared with low mite allergen levels were 3.1 [1.7-5.7] and 1.4 [0.7-2.8] respectively. Highest mite sensitization rates at intermediate exposure levels
Total serum IgE levels are associated with ambient ozone concentration in asthmatic adults (Publications)
RESULTS: The geometric mean of total IgE was 161 IU/ml and the average of O(3) exposure was 44.9 +/- 9.5 microg/m(3). Ozone concentrations were positively related to total IgE levels and an increase of 10
Increased and expedited case detection by Xpert MTB/RIF assay in childhood tuberculosis: a prospective cohort study (Publications)
confirmed tuberculosis cases than smear microscopy but with equal rapidity. Four additional cases (8.5%) with clinical tuberculosis but negative culture were diagnosed by Xpert. Testing second and third
Prenatal animal contact and gene expression of innate immunity receptors at birth are associated with atopic dermatitis (Publications)
with mothers without contact (adjusted odds ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.19-0.97). Elevated expression of TLR5 and TLR9 in cord blood was associated with decreased doctor diagnosis of atopic dermatitis. A significant

At 24 months, 64% (88/137) in the SD vs 59% (81/137) in the UC arm were in care (absolute difference 5%; 95%CI -6-16; p=0.38) and 57% (78/137) vs 54% (74/137) had documented viral suppression (3%; -9-15;
