- Algorithm to guide re-exposure to penicillin in allergic pregnant women with syphilis: Efficacy and safety(2021) GARCIA, Juliana Foes Bianchini; AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; MOTTA, Antonio Abilio; CASTELLS, Mariana; KALIL, Jorge; GIAVINA-BIANCHI, PedroResults: Ninety-one patients were enrolled. Allergy to penicillin was confirmed in 7.69% of pregnant women with syphilis and clinical history of allergy to penicillin; in all cases the diagnosis was made through intradermal testing, which predicted 100% of the breakthrough reactions observed during rapid drug desensitization (p < 0.001). Risk stratification based on the initial clinical reaction and skin testing to guide penicillin re-introduction through drug challenge or desensitization was safe (97.8%) and effective (97.8%). Conclusion: We developed and showed the efficacy and safety of an algorithm to guide reexposure to penicillin in pregnant women with syphilis and labeled as allergic to this drug. Intradermal test is an excellent biomarker in the diagnosis of immediate hypersensitivity reaction to penicillin and to predict breakthrough reaction during rapid drug desensitization. Further studies Background: Gestational syphilis is underdiagnosed and undertreated, leading to stillbirth, prematurity, low birthweight, neonatal death, and congenital syphilis. Most patients who label as allergic to penicillin are misdiagnosed. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of an algorithm to guide re-exposure to penicillin in pregnant women with syphilis and reporting allergy to the antibiotic. Methods: We performed a prospective study assessing pregnant women with syphilis and labeled as allergic to penicillin. Based on clinical history, patients were divided in two groups: high risk and low-risk to penicillin allergy. Low-risk patients with negative skin testing and negative serum specific IgE to penicillin underwent drug provocation test. The remaining patients underwent desensitization. Results: Ninety-one patients were enrolled. Allergy to penicillin was confirmed in 7.69% of pregnant women with syphilis and clinical history of allergy to penicillin; in all cases the diagnosis was made through intradermal testing, which predicted 100% of the breakthrough reactions observed during rapid drug desensitization (p < 0.001). Risk stratification based on the initial clinical reaction and skin testing to guide penicillin re-introduction through drug challenge or desensitization was safe (97.8%) and effective (97.8%). Conclusion: We developed and showed the efficacy and safety of an algorithm to guide re exposure to penicillin in pregnant women with syphilis and labeled as allergic to this drug. Intradermal test is an excellent biomarker in the diagnosis of immediate hypersensitivity reaction to penicillin and to predict breakthrough reaction during rapid drug desensitization. Further studies may confirm the greater safety of the intravenous protocol compared to the oral protocol.

- Unnecessary Abdominal Surgeries in Attacks of Hereditary Angioedema with Normal C1 Inhibitor(2021) GUTIERREZ, Marcel; VERONEZ, Camila L.; VALLE, Solange O. Rodrigues; GONCALVES, Rozana Fatima; FERRIANI, Mariana Paes Leme; MORENO, Adriana S.; ARRUDA, L. Karla; AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; GIAVINA-BIANCHI, Pedro; ALONSO, Maria Luiza Oliva; PESQUERO, Joao B.; GRUMACH, Anete S.Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease mostly due to the deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH). HAE with normal C1-INH was first described in 2000 and associated with mutations in the coagulation factor XII in 2006. Both diseases are associated with high bradykinin production, resulting in increased vascular permeability. Gastrointestinal edema due to HAE can be misdiagnosed as acute abdomen and unnecessary surgical procedures may be performed. The present study evaluates the prevalence of surgical procedures and/or acute abdomen in HAE patients with the coagulation factor XII mutation. It is a retrospective study where patients were diagnosed with recurrent angioedema without urticaria, normal C1-INH levels, and positive family history of angioedema. All patients were evaluated for the known mutations located at exon 9 of the F12 gene. Medical records were evaluated and questionnaires were applied to 52 patients with normal C1-INH levels (age range 13-76 years; 47/52, 90.38% women; 5/52, 9.61% men). F12 mutation was present in 32/52 patients (61.5%). Acute abdominal pain was diagnosed in 16/52 (30.76%) patients, appendicitis in 9/16 (56.2%), and undetermined diagnosis in 7/16 (43.7%). Among patients diagnosed with acute abdominal pain, 13/16 (81.2%) underwent surgery and 3/16 (18.7%) improved without surgical intervention. We conclude that many HAE patients with coagulation factor XII mutation were misdiagnosed with acute abdomen and subjected to unnecessary invasive procedures. It is critical to disseminate information about this rare mutation in patients with otherwise normal C1-INH activity, in order to speed up diagnosis and avoid misconduct.
- Update on perioperative hypersensitivity reactions: joint document of the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology (SBA) and Brazilian Association of Allergy and Immunology (ASBAI) - Part I: post-crisis guidelines and treatment(2020) SPINDOLA, Maria Anita Costa; SOLE, Dirceu; AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; AZI, Liana Maria Torres de Araujo; BERND, Luiz Antonio Guerra; GARCIA, Daniela Bianchi; CAPELO, Albertina Varandas; CUMINO, Debora de Oliveira; LACERDA, Alex Eustaquio; LIMA, Luciana Cavalcanti; MORATO, Edelton Flavio; NUNES, Rogean Rodrigues; RUBINI, Norma de Paula Motta; SILVA, Jane da; TARDELLI, Maria Angela; WATANABE, Alexandra Sayuri; CURI, Erick Freitas; SANO, FlavioExperts from the Brazilian Association of Allergy and Immunology (ASBAI) and the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology (SBA) interested in the issue of perioperative anaphylaxis, and aiming to strengthen the collaboration between the two societies, combined efforts to study the topic and to prepare a joint document to guide specialists in both areas. The purpose of the present series of two articles was to report the most recent evidence based on the collaborative assessment between both societies. This first article will consider the updated definitions, treatment and guidelines after a perioperative crisis. The following article will discuss the major etiologic agents, how to proceed with the investigation, and the appropriate tests.

- Hypersensitivity reactions and enzyme replacement therapy: Outcomes and safety of rapid desensitization in 1,008 infusions(2022) ARANDA, Carolina Sanchez; AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; SOUZA, Carolina Fischinger Moura de; PINTO, Louise Lapagesse de Camargo; PORRAS-HURTADO, Gloria Liliana; SALGADO, Omar Francisco Sierra; ARANTES, Rodrigo Rezende; MARTINS, Ana Maria; SOLE, Dirceu
- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs are Major Causes of Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis(2014) AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; BLANCA, Miguel; GARRO, Laila Sabino; RIBEIRO, Marisa Rosimeire; KALIL, Jorge; MOTTA, Antonio Abilio; CASTELLS, Mariana; GIAVINA-BIANCHI, PedroBACKGROUND: Drugs are responsible for 40% to 60% of anaphylactic reactions treated in the emergency department. A global research agenda to address uncertainties in anaphylaxis includes studies that identify factors associated with morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: The present study investigated drug-induced anaphylaxis, etiologies, aggravating factors, and treatment. METHODS: A total of 806 patients with adverse drug reactions were screened, and those who had a clinical diagnosis of anaphylaxis were included in the study. Clinical and demographic characteristics of anaphylaxis were described, including etiologies, pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the reactions, and a personal history of atopy and asthma. Factors associated with disease severity also were identified. RESULTS: Anaphylaxis was diagnosed in 117 patients (14.5%). The etiologies were defined in 76% of the cases, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs being the most frequent. Seventy-eight patients (66.7%) reported a previous reaction to the drug involved in the current reaction or to a drug from the same class and/or group. Epinephrine was used to treat 34.2% of patients who presented with anaphylaxis, and 40.8% of those with anaphylactic reactions with cardiovascular involvement. IgE-mediated reactions were associated with greater severity, manifested by the rates of cardiovascular dysfunction, hospitalization, and use of epinephrine. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of anaphylaxis is high in patients who seek medical assistance for drug reactions, but its diagnosis is missed in emergency services, and adrenaline is underused. Drugs were prescribed to many patients despite a history of previous reaction. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were implicated in most cases of anaphylaxis induced by drugs, and IgE-mediated reactions were less frequent but more severe.

- Atopy Is Associated with Age at Asthma Onset in Elderly Patients(2018) AGONDI, Rosana Camara; ANDRADE, Mayra Coutinho; TAKEJIMA, Priscila; AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; KALIL, Jorge; GIAVINA-BIANCHI, PedroBACKGROUND: Asthma in the elderly population (60 years of age and older) is frequently underdiagnosed, as well as atopy. Atopy, although more prevalent in younger patients, can be a major cause of asthma in the elderly. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease are common differential diagnoses, especially in elderly smokers. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess atopy and comorbidities in elderly patients with asthma. METHODS: This was an observational and retrospective study involving elderly asthmatic patients followed up at a tertiary center. Patients were assessed for severity of asthma, frequency of atopy, and frequency of comorbidities concomitant with asthma. Then, they were classified according to their age at asthma onset and the groups compared with each other for atopy, spirometric parameters, and comorbidities. RESULTS: This study included 243 elderly asthmatic patients, 71.8% of them presenting severe disease and 82.3% forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FENT]) < 80%. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, obesity, and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome were observed, respectively, in 64%, 37%, and 13% of these patients. Atopy was observed in 63%, mainly in those with early onset disease, and its frequency decreased as the age of asthma onset increased (P <.05). Total serum IgE was higher for allergic patients and FEVI values were lower for patients with long-term asthma. Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease was more frequent in patients with nonallergic asthma. CONCLUSIONS: Most elderly asthmatic patients followed up in our tertiary center were atopic and higher values of total serum IgE suggest atopy. Atopy was inversely correlated with age of asthma onset. The diagnosis of allergic asthma in the elderly population is essential to treat patients more properly, improving their quality of life and decreasing asthma morbidity and mortality.

- Adults and children with anaphylaxis in the emergency room: why it is not recognized?(2018) AUN, Marcelo V.; KALIL, Jorge; GIAVINA-BIANCHI, PedroPurpose of review Despite many international guidelines have been published in the last 10 years, anaphylaxis continues to be underdiagnosed, undernotified, and undertreated. Anaphylactic reactions in adults and children in emergency departments are frequently not recognized, leading to underutilization of epinephrine, and a higher risk of death. Recent findings A few studies have been recently published showing that educational intervention for both physicians and other healthcare professionals improve diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis. Moreover, the new International Classification of Diseases, 11th edition improved classification of anaphylaxis, making it easier to be notified. Summary Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction that is most frequently seen by emergency physicians and nurses than allergists or immunologists. Education seems to be best strategy to improve management of this severe condition.
- The Complex Interaction Between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hereditary Angioedema: Case Reports and Review of the Literature(2017) IAHN-AUN, Marina; AUN, Marcelo Vivolo; MOTTA, Antonio Abilio; KALIL, Jorge; GIAVINA-BIANCHI, Pedro; HAYASHIDA, Sylvia Asaka; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; MACIEL, Gustavo ArantesImportance Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare but severe disease, with high risk of death, and attacks have been associated to high estrogen levels. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hyperandrogenic condition, which is frequently treated with combined oral contraceptives. Objective The aim of this study was to describe 2 clinical cases of young women diagnosed as having PCOS who developed HAE attacks after the introduction of combined estrogen-progestin pills to treat PCOS symptoms. Evidence Acquisition Literature review of sex hormones' role in genesis of HAE attacks and possible mechanisms involved. Results In the cases reported, after initiation of combined contraceptives, patients presented with facial swelling with airway involvement (laryngeal edema) and abdominal pain. They had a familial history of angioedema and normal C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) levels, leading to the diagnosis of HAE with normal C1-INH (HAEnC1-INH) or HAE type III. After suspension of exogenous estrogen, patients remained asymptomatic from HAE. Conclusions and Relevance HAEnC1-INH is an estrogen-dependent form of HAE. It is well established that exogenous estrogen triggers attacks of all types of HAE. However, this is the first description of the association between PCOS and HAE, in which PCOS could be masking HAE symptoms. We propose that PCOS might have a protective role regarding HAE attacks, because of its particular hormonal features, that is, hyperandrogenism and relative stable levels of estradiol. The use of combined estrogen-progestin compounds in women with PCOS and HAE must be avoided, and treatment must be individualized. Target Audience Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians. Learning Objectives After completing this activity, the learner should be better able to evaluate for hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients with recurrent angioedema attacks and abdominal pain, particularly when they are under exogenous estrogen treatment; ask patients about personal or familial history of angioedema attacks before prescribing exogenous estrogen; recall that isolated progestins can be used as long-term prophylaxis to HAE patients; and explain that hyperandrogenism of polycystic ovary syndrome could mask HAE symptoms.
