Background Allergy to peach and apple is a frequent problem in the Mediterranean area. Both fruits share allergens between them and with those from other plants and pollens. Component resolved diagnosis assays (CRD) enable to detect IgE antibodies to a wide panel of allergens. A detailed clinical evaluation plus CRD permit a precise analysis of sensitizations to many allergens. Our aim was to a...

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a common hypersensitivity reaction characterized by recurrent, well-circumscribed, erythematous patches that arise at the same site as a result of systemic drug exposure. However, fixed food eruption (FFE), a lesion triggered by food ingestion, is a rare allergy that was first defined in 1996. Based on their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, the fruit a...

Food allergy is medical condition when the immune system mistakenly perceives a particular foods ingredients as dangerous. The differences in incidence and types of food allergens different regions attract researchers to examine that often cause allergies Indonesia because it will help patients clinicians determine be eliminated reduce impact symptoms on patients. This study was conducted know ...

These guidelines represent the updated consensus of experts in the field of immediate hypersensitivity reactions occurring during anesthesia. They provide a series of valid, widely accepted, effective, and easily teachable guidelines that are the fruit of current knowledge, research, and experience. The guidelines are based on the findings of international scientific research and have been impl...

Background Kiwi fruit is a common food allergen and severe allergic reactions are observed. The current diagnostic accuracy is poor with a reported diagnostic sensitivity of 65% in a large European cohort. Recently, two new kiwi allergens were registered, both being storage proteins and both isolated from kiwi seeds. Storage proteins are often linked to severe clinical reactions in other food a...

Past few years cranberry/lingonberry products have been incorporated as healthy products to the US and European market as prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections in young women as well as in chronic infections in elderly which because of there are many biological activities attributed to the that fruit is a very popular additive to the new diets. To the best of our knowledge, this is ...

Results Among 56 patients (46 male, age range 14-22,5 years, median 16,6 years) 55% had positive family history of atopy, 64% reported atopic dermatitis and 80% asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. 1/3 developed their first reaction to a food allergen during infancy, the main allergens being egg (11%), milk (9%) and fish (7%).32% first experienced FA as preschoolers, 27% between 6-12 years and only...

Recently, the prevalence of allergies in Japan has been increasing. Certain types of fruit juice and lactic acid bacteria are known to alleviate allergic symptoms. Therefore, we examined whether citrus juice fermented by a specific lactic acid bacteria can improve the symptoms of Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCPsis). Lactobacillus plantarum YIT 0132 (LP0132) was selected based on its high prolife...

Allergic reactions to fruits and vegetables are frequently observed, however skin prick tests and serological analyses may not always confirm allergy. Recent advances have identified the seeds as potential allergen sources. Seeds are generally rich in storage proteins like 7S/11S globulins and 2S albumins, which are allergens known to be linked to severe reactions. For a number of plant food, s...

BACKGROUND Allergy is a serious and apparently increasing public health problem yet relatively little is known about the types of allergy seen in routine tertiary practice, including their spatial distribution, co-occurrence or referral patterns. This study reviewed referrals over an eleven year period to a regional allergy clinic that had a well defined geographical boundary. For those patient...
