Abstract

Rice is a popular food all over the world. Rice is regarded as hypoallergenic and rice hypersensitivity is not common. We experienced a case of multiple food allergy including cow’s milk, egg white, buckwheat, soybean and rice. The 8 month-old boy presenting with atopic dermatitis developed recurrent wheezing later. Laboratory findings showed a high serum level of total IgE (561 kU/L), and high levels of specific IgE to rice (11.0 kU/L), egg white (13.0 kU/L), cow’s milk (5.73 kU/L), buckwheat (5.45 kU/L), and soybean (25.5 kU/L) using the immune-CAP system. Foods causing allergic reaction were absolutely eliminated and substituted with hypoallergic formula milk. Thereafter, his skin lesions began to improve, and 5 months later, he was tolerable to eat rice. However, he developed recurrent wheezing at the age of 23 months. At now 4 years, he is regularly followed up without any symptoms of food allegy.
