Background: It has been reported that oral administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain L-55 (L55) suppressed nasal symptom and antigen-specific IgE induced by antigen challenge in mice. We investigated clinical effects of L-55-contained yogurt on symptoms and IgE production in the patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis. Method: The study was performed as a randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial. L-55-contained yogurt (L-55 yogurt) or placebo yogurt was started to administer to each subject from 4 weeks prior to the onset of Japanese cedar pollen release for total 13 weeks. Result: The mean value of symptom score and symptom medication score were lower in L-55 yogurt group compared with placebo yogurt group during 5th week to 9th week from the first week of Japanese cedar pollination. Especially, in medicated subjects, total symptom score and throat symptom score were significantly lower in L-55 yogurt group compared with placebo yogurt group at 5th and 4th week from the first week of Japanese cedar pollination, respectively. Moreover, in medicated subjects, change ratio of serum total IgE was significantly lower in L-55 yogurt group compared with placebo yogurt group at 1st week from the first week of Japanese cedar pollination. Conclusion: Intake of L-55 during Japanese cedar pollinating season may be effective in alleviating the allergic symptoms related to Japanese cedar pollinosis. From these finding, it was suggested that L-55 is a possible candidate as a complementary medicine for Japanese cedar pollinosis.

Background: Although many food-allergic children experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake, little was known about the effects of the disaster on them. Methods: Using a questionnaire survey, we studied 194 patients with food allergy in Miyagi Prefecture, who were hospitalized for the oral food challenge test after the earthquake. This survey consists of items related to the damage to home, means of gathering information, lack of allergen-free foods, exacerbation of atopic dermatitis or bronchial asthma, etc. Results: At the earthquake, most of the patients lived around Sendai city. Lifeline disruptions, communication breakdown, and goods shortage occurred in almost all family. Immediately after the earthquake, it was difficult to continue the food elimination diet. Asthmatic attack occurred in 14% of food-allergic children with bronchial asthma. Exacerbation of eczema was seen in 60% of food-allergic patients with atopic dermatitis. Almost all guardians of atopic dermatitis children think that it was because the shower was unavailable after the earthquake. Conclusion: It is necessary to supply food-allergic patients with the specific food elimination diet, and atopic dermatitis patients with the shower facilities as soon as possible after the natural disaster occurs.

We report a case of oral allergy syndrome, whose symptoms were dramatically improved after rush subcutaneous injection immunotherapy (SCIT) with pollen extracts of birch, ragweed and Japanese cedar. She was diagnosed as allergic rhinitis at 2 years old, and experienced oral allergy syndrome at 5 years old after eating cucumber. Then she had become allergic to wide range of fruits and vegetables. She was introduced to our department for the possible treatment for allergic rhinitis, and underwent rush SCIT at 15 years old. The symptom of single blind oral challenge test of apple up to 30g, which had been positive before SCIT, turned to negative after the treatment. The threshold of apple measured by open oral challenge test increased from 3g to more than 50g. The symptoms to most fruits and vegetables were improved or disappeared. This suggests the possibility that SCIT of birch pollen can be a promising candidate as a radical treatment for pollen-food allergy syndrome.
