Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease, characterized by intense pruritus and recurrent eczematous lesions, with prevalence varying from 0.2% to 20%. AD includes different phenotypes and endotypes, according to ethnicity, age, immune response profile, presence of loss-of-function mutation in the gene coding for filaggrin and barrier defects, infection …
The Institute for Investigation in Immunology, iii, initially a Millenium Institute created in 2001, studies infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, allergy, autoimmune diseases, transplantation and primary immunodeficiency. These diseases have strong immunological components, and are health problems that affect millions in our country and throughout the world. Besides the social and economic rele…
Asthma in one of the most common chronic disease, with prevalences of 10% and 17% in adults and children, respectively, in Brazil. In a previous study, carried out in Primary Care Units of the North District of the City of Ribeirão Preto, we have found that asthma is underdiagnosed, and that patients frequently seek medical care only during acute exacerbations.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease with autosomal dominant inheritance, characterized by recurrent attacks of subcutaneous edema of upper airways and gastrointestinal tract.

HAE Type I results from the quantitative deficiency of C1-INH, whereas HAE type II is characterized b…

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease with autosomal dominant inheritance, characterized by recurrent episodes of swelling of face, extremities and larynx, and attacks of abdominal pain. In its classic form, the HAE is caused by mutations in SERPING1, the gene encoding C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), and results from the quantitative and/or qualitative deficiency of C1-INH (HAE-C1-INH). Mu…
