  NCS - Allergic Alveolitis
Allergic Alveolitis is a respiratory hypersensitivity reaction (allergic reaction) to repeated inhalation of organic particles.
Allergic alveolitis is called a zoonotic disease, since people acquire the disease from animals (psittacosis is another zoonotic disease).
The disease may be precipitated through exposure to a single budgerigar, and seems to have little correlation to the number of birds kept in the household.

 Assessment of Allergic Disease | Hunter Area Pathology Service
A seasonal history of illness, with symptoms worse in spring time, strongly suggests that outdoor aeroallergens (predominantly pollens) may be implicated in disease, while perennial symptoms may be a clue to indoor aeroallergens, particularly house dust mite, animal danders, and cockroach allergens.
Patients presenting with allergic rhinitis or allergic asthma should have a screen for sensitivity to all the common aeroallergens (Table 5) which includes allergen mixes for pollens, animal/epithelial danders, house dust mite, and moulds.
Allergic rhinitis in infants and young children may be caused by cow’s milk protein, but food allergy is unlikely to cause rhinitis in adults.

 ScienceDaily: Key Molecular Signaling Switch Involved In Allergic Disease Identified
Allergic diseases such as asthma and hay fever are problematic for about 30 percent of the population in the developed world.
IgE is an antibody known to trigger Type I allergic disease.
According to Conrad, the outcome of allergic disease can be modulated by high levels of the regulatory protein, known as CD23, which ultimately results in a decreased production of IgE.

allergic inflammation, mediated primarily by recruitment and activation of eosinophils.
It is reasonable to hypothesize that allergic disease is characterized by animbalance between allergen- specific TH1 and TH2 activities.
Such concepts are currently being investigated as research related to allergic inflammation and cytokines continues to move steadily from bench to bedside.

 Introduction to Allergic Skin Disease in the Feline
Allergic skin disease is characterized by itching (pruritis), dermatitis, eczema, and poor coat quality.
We all recognize that animals can be allergic or sensitive to things which come into contact with their skin for example fleas, flea saliva, and flea dirt.
If we could remove some of the allergic stimulation from the animal then we may reach a point where the sum of the allergenic sources is below the puritic threshold and the animal will stop itching.

 CEC - ALLERGIC EYE DISEASE
Treatment for allergic eye disease rarely includes allergy scratch testing or searches for specific allergens.
Anti-allergy prescription eyedrops, developed in the past three or four years, have allowed some patients to actually enjoy mowing their lawn for the first time in decades.
However, allergic eye disease requires diagnosis and management and prescription treatment by an eye care professional.

  My Allergies - How is allergy diagnosed or evaluated?
Obtaining a complete history from the allergic patient involves getting a description of all symptoms along with their timing and length, plus obtaining a list of exposures to common allergens, and responses to previous therapies.
Allergic diseases are often associated with increased numbers of blood particles known as eosinophils.
Allergen skin testing (allergen challenge) is the primary in-office procedure for the diagnosis of allergic disease.

 Feline Asthma & Other Respiratory Disorders
Feline asthma (also known as feline bronchial disease, allergic bronchitis, bronchitis, allergic airway disease and allergic asthma) is similar to human asthma.
An allergic reaction causes spasms in the bronchi, prompting airway inflammation and swelling.
This restricts airflow, causing respiratory distress, which can become life threatening in a matter of minutes.
