Food-induced cutaneous adverse reactions

چکیده
The skin is the most frequently affected target organ in allergy or intolerance of food and food additives. The most common manifestation is acute urticaria (with or without angioedema), accounting for 40-60% of patients with IgE-mediated food allergy, whereas food additives rather aggravate chronic urticaria (intolerance provocation). The role of food allergy in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is still controversial; however, there is no doubt that, particularly in infants and young children, food allergens can induce atopic dermatitis or aggravate skin lesions. In adults, food allergy as a cause or a trigger of atopic dermatitis is very rare. However, in food-allergic patients with atopic dermatitis, the ingestion of the food item can provoke the whole spectrum of IgE-mediated symptoms, from oral allergy syndrome to severe anaphylaxis. Skin symptoms can also be induced not only after food ingestion in sensitized people, but also after direct skin contact, as lipophilic food allergens can penetrate the skin via the hair follicles or when the skin barrier function is defective. Immediate contact reactions of the skin are a heterogeneous group: they include not only contact urticaria (contact urticaria syndrome) on an immunologic or nonimmunologic basis, but also allergic or nonallergic eczematous reactions caused by food proteins (protein contact dermatitis). A prototype is baker's eczema in a restricted sense with immediate-type sensitization to flour. Atopic eczema provoked by direct contact of the skin with food must also be taken into consideration. Finally, very rarely, allergic contact dermatitis that is due to type IV sensitization to food or food additives (positive delayed type reaction in the patch tests) can occur. The oral ingestion of these foods may provoke in these patients a generalized eczematous rash or dyshidrosiform reactions (vesicles) of the I fingers, palms, and soles.

Background and Aim: Adverse drug reactions are inevitable outcomes of drug therapy, which may cause mortality and morbidity for those whom are treated in this way. Cutanous adverse drug reactions are abserved in 2% to 3% of inpatients but only 2% of them are considered serious and may cause death. The aim of this study was to determine the cause and clinical forms of adverse drug reactions refe...

Background: Adverse cutaneous drug reactions are unwarranted effects of modern medicine. These unfortunate events can assume any morphology from simple exanthem to full blown toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and can simulate and mimic many diseases. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize the cause, but they may be due to polypharmacy or self-administration of medications. The analytical data f...
متن کاملCutaneous Adverse Reactions to Foods in Dogs and Cats
Food allergy (food hypersensitivity) is the term used to describe the clinical disease induced by food ingestion in which there is an immunological reaction. The immunological reaction is usually associated with dietary water-soluble glycoproteins that have molecular weights ranging from 10,000 to 70,000 kD. Food intolerance is the term used for a non-immunological abnormal physiological respon...

Food anaphylaxis is an allergic syndrome manifested by an abrupt onset of symptoms within minutes to hours after ingesting a food. Anaphylaxis is recognized by cutaneous, respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal signs and symptoms occurring singly or in combination. The list of foods implicated in anaphylactic reactions is unlimited and any food protein is capable of causing an anaphyla...

: Adverse food reactions are abnormal responses to ingested foods. Reactions vary from immunologic to nonimmunologic immune reactions and can be either immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated or non-IgE mediated. Food-induced IgE-mediated reactions range from localized urticaria to anaphylaxis and have been well studied. However, in comparison, there has been significantly less research into non-IgE-me...
