   Sammanfattning : There is concern about the indoor environment in aircraft but few stud-ies exist on self-rated health (SRH) and respiratory symptoms among pilots. Occupational and non-occupational risk factors for SRH, respira-tory symptoms and other symptoms among commercial pilots were investigated in this thesis. LÄS MER

5. 4. Diagnosis of dog allergy in children : molecular assessment and refined characterization

   Författare :Ulrika Käck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Dog allergy is a common cause of rhinitis and asthma in children, yet the diagnosis is a clinical challenge. Allergic sensitization, i.e. the presence of serum IgE antibodies, to dog dander affect up to 30 % of all children and adolescents, but not all sensitized children display symptoms. LÄS MER
