Oleosines in sesame allergy

چکیده
Methods We present the case of a 31 y.o. woman with repeated anaphylactic reactions most of them upon eating at oriental restaurants. A vast allergic study was carried out in another center ruling out allergy/intolerance to several food additives and foods. The key fact for the diagnosis was an anaphylactic reaction upon eating home-made humus made of chickpea, olive oil and sesame oil. We performed wide skin prick testing (SPT) and specific IgE (both CAP and ISAC) for nuts, legumes, and sesame seed (commercial extract, natural raw sesame seed) as well as prick test, prick-prick, and prick patch with sesame oil, and open food challenge test (OFCT) with sesame seed.

متن کاملSesame allergy: role of specific IgE and skin-prick testing in predicting food challenge results.
There are conflicting data regarding the diagnostic value of sesame-specific IgE and sesame skin test. Currently, there are no established thresholds that predict clinical reactivity. We examined the correlation of sesame ImmunoCAP and skin-prick test (SPT) results with oral challenge outcomes in children suspected of having a sesame food allergy. We conducted a retrospective chart review of ch...
