Systemic aspects Allergen sensititization is not just a local event, but also a systemic event • In animal models : • Allergen sensitization on the skin induced localized dermatitis and airway eosinophilia • Airway sensitization not only caused eosinophilic esophagitis, but also skin eosinophilia, accelerated bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis and blood eosinophilia Spergel JM. Clin Exp Allergy 2005; 35 : 1421
Systemic aspects Allergen sensitization is not just a local event, but also a systemic event • In human models : • Allergen exposure in the asthmatic airway induced eosinophilia not only in the local airway, but distally in bone marrow with increased IL5 expression Wood et al.

Role of staphylococcal superantigens in upper airway disease Bachert et al Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 2008; 8 : 34 • Nasal polyps are characterized by Th2 dominated cytokine pattern • Cytokine environment is decisive regarding the impact of S.Aureus enteroxins, as superantigens • S.Aureus enteroxins B further shifts the cytokine pattern in nasal polyps toward Th2 cytokines (IL4- IL5) • Furthermore S.Aureus enteroxins influence local immunoglobulin syntesis and induce polyclonal IgE production, which may contribute to severe inflammation through a mastcell activation
