Corn-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Exercise-induced anaphylaxis is a rare disorder characterized by the development of a severe allergic response occurring after mildto-strenuous physical activity. Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) comprises 30-50% of all cases of exercise-induced anaphylaxis [2]. Diagnosis involves careful history and appropriate skin prick testing and food specific IgE levels [4,6]. However, food dependent exercise challenges may be required to confirm the diagnosis [6]. We describe the case of a 51 year old male, diagnosed with corn dependent exercise anaphylaxis via serial exercise challenges.

The current incidence of FDEIA in children is uncertain. Different foods have been described as the cause of the reactions, including: wheat products; shell-fish; vegetables; fruits; nuts; egg; mushrooms; corn; garlic; meat; and rice. Trigger...

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is a specific variant of exercise-induced anaphylaxis that requires both vigorous physical activity and the ingestion of specific foods within the preceding several hours. When patients present to the emergency department (ED) with allergic reactions, careful history regarding these 2 factors is required to establish the correct diagnosis. Cor...

Food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is the triggering of anaphylaxis after ingestion of certain foods when followed by physical exercise. Symptoms vary from the typical generalized urticaria to severe allergic reactions. We report the case of a 20-year-old woman who had a 7-year history of recurrent wheals and dyspnea after ingesting several kinds of food (wheat, pork, and beef...
متن کاملComparing wheat flour and commercial wheat extract skin prick testing in Wheat Dependent Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis
Background Wheat Dependent Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is a form of Food Dependent Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis. WDEIA occurs when there is an allergic reaction following the ingestion of wheat, coupled with exercise [1]. The suspected allergen that is responsible for WDEIA is omega5gliadin [2]. We report a series of adult clinical cases of WDEIA recorded between 2006-2009 at Health Sc...
