Beautiful time of year - spring - for many people suffering from allergies, it is a real challenge. After all, to enjoy the fragrance of the herbs and the weather is very problematic when you cough, sneeze, nose runs and your eyes water. According to who, the number of Allergy sufferers with steadily increasing every year. On some aspects of the Allergy ForUm asked an employee of the Institute Phthisiology and pulmonology named. F. Yanovsky, AMS of Ukraine, candidate of medical Sciences of allergist-immunologist Yaroshchuk, Larisa.
- Larisa Borisovna, the number of Allergy sufferers is really growing, or are we just began to pay more attention to this disease?
Yes, allergies are becoming more. But you need to understand the difference between true allergies and so-called pseudoallergy. The number of people exposed to a true Allergy is increasing, but the number of pseudoallergic increases much faster. A true Allergy is when allergic manifestations in connection with violation of immunological status, then there is a failure in the immune system. And pseudo - this is when the skin has some manifestations that we call allergies, but most often they are associated with the General condition of the body. Mostly with abnormalities of the gall-intestinal tract, endocrine system. They manifest themselves as allergic reactions on the skin - rashes, itching, spots. But this is not a true Allergy, it is important to examine the entire body, to identify violations and to prescribe treatment.
- Who often suffers from allergies: children, adults, seniors?
- About equally affected all age categories. Allergy population grows.
Why?
- Poor environment, frequent stress, information overload, poor nutrition, lack of physical activity. Violation occurs throughout the body, including the immune system.
- It affects the occurrence of allergies our excessive desire for purity, sterility?
- Desire for purity without fanaticism is quite a normal phenomenon. Excessive application of various detergents, disinfectants, fragrances - not cool. This increases the allergenic potential. In patients who are predisposed to allergies, it may manifest symptomatically.
- Whether the Allergy air purifiers? How are they affected by the air conditioning?
- With regard to air purifiers are the best option, if you clean these cleaners. That is, to remove the dust is quite natural. Hydration, especially in those areas where there is a Central heating and air dry - usual approach. With regard to the application of air conditioning in General is not very good. This product of civilization, which makes the temperature more comfortable, but not freshens the air, does not satisfy its positively charged ions and can be a source of bacteria and other microorganisms.
- Allergies - a hereditary disease or acquired?
True allergic disorders of the immune system - inherited. And will manifest allergies in specific individual or not - it depends on the person and his lifestyle. The gene may be present. Now quite a large number of patients who arrive with symptoms of a true Allergy. And when you ask the question, do you have any kind allergies, they say no. But if the examination reveals immunoglobulin E(IgE), which says that somewhere in the family there is a failure of the immune system and are prone to allergies. But due to the fact that in the past people had other conditions of life, more power, ecology, this was not shown. Now, due to loads that accumulate allergens, the Cup is full, and has an Allergy. People can live with the increased level of immunoglobulin E, which indicates a predisposition, but they will never manifest allergies, if they lead a healthy lifestyle.
If the Allergy is manifested by one of the parents, then the probability of its occurrence in a child - in 30% of cases. If both parents suffer from allergies, then the probability reaches 70%. But it all depends on the lifestyle of the child.
- It is believed that most children are born with the prerequisites for allergies. Is it true?
Now healthy children are not born. And 90% of all allergies in children the first year of life are, as a rule, pseudoallergy, and connected it with the imperfection, the immaturity of the digestive system of children.
- Is there an Allergy wireless Wi-Fi network? Or is it just a myth?
- This area is for discussion of discharge: is there a God? Similarly: is there an Allergy наWi-Fi? Allergic reactions can occur to changes in air temperature, atmospheric pressure is the so-called weather-sensitive patients. It is possible that patients may respond at any other wavelength. But it is necessary to prove, to explore.
- What tests you have to pass, if there is a suspicion of Allergy?
- Need to be tested for total IgE is thus determined by the Foundation allergies. There eosinophilic cationic protein one of the markers of Allergy, one of the markers of the severity of allergies. The world standard for the diagnosis of allergies are skin allegory.
- Is it easy to determine what a person is allergic?
- You have to do a skin Allergology, if something is unclear you can conduct blood tests for allergens, serological studies. But all the test results should be correlated with the clinical picture.
- How much costs the diagnosis and treatment of allergies?
In our country the cost of diagnosis ranges: from 250 UAH 2, 5 thousand. The cost of treatment depends on the disease itself, of course, and other factors.
- Is there a cure allergies completely?
- Not fully, but it is possible to prevent the occurrence of its manifestations. If a man knows what he is allergic, so he can warn the moments that she has not arisen.
- What happens if you don't treat allergies?
- If not treated, that is, not to prevent the progression of inflammation, it's like a wound that heals, and we again do nadrazi. That's exactly the same happens with the immune system and topics organs that are damaged by allergies. It is a chronic process that leads either to the weighting of the state, or to irreversible changes, for example, in the respiratory system.
- What you need to know is available? How to make life easier?
- If you know what triggers your trouble - try to avoid contact with allergens. If you drank a coke and you are having allergies does not mean you need to drink. And in General, a healthy lifestyle, positive thinking is the Foundation of health in General.
