Egg provoked food protein‐induced enterocolitis‐like syndrome in an adult
نویسندگان
چکیده
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy usually diagnosed in infancy. We report a case of a similar syndrome in an adult, following ingestion of egg. We remind clinicians to consider this diagnosis which may present to emergency physicians and gastroenterologists long before an allergist is consulted.

Egg allergy is the commonest infant food allergy both in Australia and world-wide. The clinical presentation of egg allergy is varied - egg is involved in both IgE and non-IgE-mediated allergic reactions and has been implicated in conditions such as anaphylaxis, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, atopic dermatitis and eosinophilic oesophagitis. The clinical presentation, pathophysiolo...

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a potentially severe non-IgE-mediated food allergy usually caused by cow's milk or soy, and more rarely by solid foods such as rice, oats, barley, chicken, turkey, egg white, green peas and peanuts. In children with FPIES, the presence of specific IgE antibodies to the causative food, either at presentation or during follow-up, defines an "...

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a food hypersensitivity disorder, characterised by severe vomiting and/or diarrhoea. Elimination of the offending food from diet is the only therapy. On the contrary, for patients affected by IgE--mediated cow’s milk and egg allergy therapeutical options in the last years seem to be different, such as Specific Oral Tolerance Induction (SOTI...

Food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is potentially severe, non–IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity characterized by profuse emesis and diarrhea that progresses to dehydration and shock in 15% to 20% of patients. The diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and/or an oral food challenge (OFC). The pathophysiology of FPIES is not well characterized; the gastrointestinal T-cell respo...
متن کاملFood protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome caused by solid food proteins.
BACKGROUND Infantile food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a severe, cell-mediated gastrointestinal food hypersensitivity typically provoked by cow's milk or soy. Solid foods are rarely considered a cause. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical characteristics and natural history of FPIES provoked by solid foods. METHODS Patients with FPIES induced by solid foods were identifie...
