Allergic diseases are a group of diseases characterized by a complex of pathophysiological processes, the key element of which is excessive sensitization of the immune system to certain allergens. Laboratory diagnosis of allergic diseases is becoming an increasingly important component of a comprehensive examination conducted by an allergist. An important advantage of this diagnosis of allergic diseases i Drawing blood for testing is safe and can be done on people of all ages and conditions, including infants and pregnant women.s that, unlike skin allergy tests, there are practically no contraindications to the study. Laboratory tests can also be performed during periods of increased sensitization or exacerbation of the disease, or during treatment. In some cases (elimination of a specific allergen, anti-IgE therapy), treatment monitoring is carried out using appropriate laboratory tests.
On May 7, 2024, a round table «Algorithm for diagnosing IgE-dependent allergies» was held, in which residents of 1-2 years of study in the specialties “Allergology and Immunology (adults, children)”, “Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics” took part. Organizers of the round table: Associate Professor, Ph.D. Yagofarov F.F., Ph.D. Kozubaeva D.B., Abdrakhmanova G.Zh., Ph.D. Kudaibergenova N.K. During the discussion, questions were raised – how to avoid the most severe manifestations of the body’s reaction in a dentist’s practice to various components of anesthetics and timely provision of assistance.
The purpose of the round table is to form a holistic understanding of the importance of laboratory diagnosis of allergic diseases through a dialogue between practitioners and theorists.
The main presentation on the development of an allergic reaction of the immune system and new laboratory diagnostic methods was presented by 1st year resident Asylkhanova Aigerim.
Methods for assessing type I allergies and IgE-mediated allergies were highlighted by Associate Professor F.F. Yagofarov.
Important issues of laboratory diagnostics about the latest advances in the diagnosis of IgE-dependent allergies were discussed in a discussion mode, with examples of difficult clinical cases.
