Wheat-Induced Anaphylaxis in Korean Adults: A Report of 6 Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wheat is a common cause of food allergy. Wheat-induced anaphylaxis (WIA) and wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) are severe forms of immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated allergic reaction to wheat protein. As the diagnosis of WIA or WDEIA is not easy because of the risk of oral challenge, identification of specific IgE of various wheat proteins is helpful for diagnosis. In Korea, there are only a few reports on WIA in adults. We report six cases of WIA diagnosed on the basis of clinical history and specific IgE of wheat proteins or provocation test. For immunologic evaluation of severe wheat allergy including WIA and WDEIA, it is important to measure specific IgE to each component of wheat including gluten and ω-5 gliadin not just measuring wheat-specific IgE.

متن کاملWheat - Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis Occurred With a Delayed Onset of 10 to 24 hours After Wheat Ingestion: A Case Report
Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) usually occurs 1 to 4 hours after wheat ingestion and the pathophysiology of WDEIA remains unknown. It is recommended that WDEIA patients refrain from exercise for 4 to 6 hours after wheat ingestion. We report a case of a 51-year-old man who experienced 5 anaphylaxis attacks; two of which occurred 10 to 24 hours after wheat ingestion and exer...
متن کاملPredictors of Anaphylaxis in Korean Adults
1 Our understanding of anaphylaxis has greatly evolved since its fortuitous discovery by Portier and Richert, 1 but it is nowhere near enough. Uncertainty is more intensified in a lack of comprehensive understanding of predictors associated with severity or serious outcomes of anaphylaxis. In this sense, the article by Ye et al. 2 in this issue of the AAIR is greatly informative. They collected...
