Abstract
|
|
|
|
Food allergy is one of the adverse food reactions, which is developed by immunological reactions. Food allergy is increasing in prevalence among children and adults. In the diagnosis, food challenge is confirmative with history and laboratory tests. Avoidance of culprit food is the only preventive method, especially in patients with severe symptoms. In some food allergies, crossreactivity among allergens should be considered. Latex-fruit/vegetable syndrome and pollen food allergy syndrome are well-understood phenotypes of food allergy related to cross reaction. Red meat allergy is recently described as one of tick-borne diseases. In a rare phenotype of food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, factors affecting the absorption of food allergen are important in its pathophysiology.
