Background and objectives: Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition whose prevalence varies across different regions and populations. In Andalusia, detailed data on the characteristics of asthma patients are lacking, thus limiting effective clinical management and health care planning. Objective: Our objective was to characterize patients diagnosed with asthma in Andalusia.
Material and methods: To our knowledge, this study comprises the largest cohort of asthma patients in Spain. We characterized 726 006 asthma patients based on prevalence, exacerbations, comorbidities, and pharmacological treatment. We covered the whole population, with subanalyses comparing rural-urban settings and coastal-inland regions.
Results: The overall prevalence of asthma in Andalusia was 8.57%. The disease was more prevalent in females, although it was more common in males until the age of 15 years. The most frequent comorbidities were arthrosis and spondylosis. Almost three-quarters (70.73%) of newly diagnosed asthma patients received treatment, the most common being SABAs (31.56%), LTRAs (16.13%), and systemic corticosteroids (13.94%). After initial treatment, 35.15% of patients did not receive follow-up care. Treatment was stepped up in 28.68%, stepped down in 20.75%, and switched in 15.43%.
Conclusions: Our results provide a detailed characterization of the Andalusian population in terms of prevalence, comorbidities, and treatment trajectories and proved consistent with findings from other Spanish regions. We also observed geographical discrepancies in asthma prevalence when comparing rural-urban settings and coastal-inland regions.

Background and objectives: Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is an effective treatment for yellow jacket venom (YJV) allergy. It is often based on mixtures of venom from different species. Recent taxonomic re-evaluation has revealed that widely used VIT preparations contain venom from Vespula alascensis, a North American species, rather than venom from the Palearctic Vespula vulgaris. To assess the allergenic relevance of V alascensis venom for European patients and evaluate its suitability for inclusion in VIT preparations.
Methods: The ability of V alascensis and V vulgaris venom to activate effector cells from YJV-allergic patients from Germany was compared using the basophil activation test. Patients' sIgE reactivity was assessed using ELISA, inhibition ELISA, CAP inhibition, and Western blot. Proteomic analysis of the venoms was also conducted.
Results: Basophil activation tests showed highly similar activation profiles for V alascensis and V vulgaris venoms. Moreover, ELISA and inhibition analyses revealed comparable overall sIgE reactivity for both venoms. In contrast, Western blot analysis demonstrated similar sIgE profiles for antigen 5 allergens, although phospholipase A1 allergens were differentially detected. Proteomic analysis revealed no differences in the major allergens of the 2 venoms.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the functional similarity between V alascensis and V vulgaris venoms in allergic responses. Moreover, it highlights the clinical relevance of V alascensis for YJV-sensitized European patients and supports its inclusion in YJV VIT preparations in Europe.
