Food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis or exercise induced anaphylaxis?

Food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) diagnosis requires the patient to be independently tolerant of both exercise and the responsible food. 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. Triggering factors include foods, exercise, patient’s general condition, drugs, alcohol, and seasonal conditions. The symptoms of FDEIA vary in severity but fatalities are rare. The most commonly seen symptoms consist of skin and respiratory manifestations, abdominal pain, fatigue and loss of consciousness. However, we believe there to be some overlapping cases. Here, we report on a patient who suffered from exercise induced asthma (EIA) but also has FDEIA. CASE REPORT
