Question 1

My serum IgE level is 4653 IU/mL. I have a history of allergies, asthma, and psoriasis since childhood, and I also get frequent fungal infections. What tests can be done, or how can we diagnose whether I have Autosomal Recessive Hyper IgE Syndrome (AR HIES)?

Question 2

Dear Doctor, I have severe sneezing and wheezing and my eyes and ears are also itching and having irritation. Sneezing for more than 100 times in a day, minimum 10 to 20 each time I sneeze, is making my life miserable. I am also struggling with sleepless nights, which is increasing my symptoms even higher. How can I tackle this issue? I found my eosinophils count is a little higher than expected. I am yet to receive the complete blood report. But this problem has been consistent for more than 3 years. Please suggest a way to get out of this miserable living. When I sneeze, urine leaks. In the morning, as soon as I wake up, I sneeze like hell and my stools also leak due to severe and unstoppable sneezing. I hope you are able to see the life I am living. I do not know which treatment or which specialist is suitable to treat my problem. Please help and direct me to the correct treatment. Thank you, Durgalakshmi.

Question 3

I am a 53 year old woman suffering from allergic rhinitis. I would like to know the cost of a skin prick test for both airborne and food allergens. Additionally, if I am found to be allergic to something like house dust mites, what would be the cost of allergy vaccination (immunotherapy)? For your reference, my recent test results are: TLC: 9100/cumm, Neutrophils: 50percent, Lymphocytes: 40percent, Eosinophils: 6percent, Monocytes: 4percent, Basophils: 0percent, Total IgE: 231.2 IU/ml, hsCRP: 4.6 mg/L, Vitamin D: 7.65 ng/ml.

I want to know about my Allergy Screening Test by IMMUNO-EIA. The results are IgE 172 KU/L, Nimesulide 1.30 U/L, and Cephalosporin 1.20 U/L. What is the meaning of these values shown in my report? What should I do to treat it?

Raised IgE suggests allergic tendency. Avoid identified drugs (nimesulide, cephalosporin). Antihistamines and allergen avoidance are key.
