Feline allergic skin disease presents a unique set of challenges to the veterinary practitioner. Although there is some similarity to what is seen in the allergic canine patient, cutaneous hypersensitivity dermatoses in cats can manifest with strikingly different clinical signs, treatment options and outcomes, and secondary complications/disease entities. Additionally, less is known about the p...

BACKGROUND Flax (Linum usitatissimum) seeds are increasingly used in bread and as laxatives. Hypersensitivity to linseeds has been infrequently described, and we report a case of anaphylaxis induced by linseed ingestion in a 39-year-old woman. METHODS AND RESULTS The clinical course, as well as positive skin prick tests and histamine release tests performed with linseed extracts, suggested a ...

Our teeth are constantly subjected to erosion caused by the action of food and drinks (1). These aggressions result in the exposure of dentinal tubules and the underlying nerves to the external environment. Consequently, external stimuli trigger the nerves causing a short and acute pain clinically defined as dental hypersensitivity (2). Individuals with this condition present tooth with open de...

Food allergy affects between 5% and 7.5% of children and between 1% and 2% of adults. The greater prevalence of food allergy in children reflects both the increased predisposition of children to develop food allergies and the development of immunologic tolerance to certain foods over time. Immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated food allergies can be classified as those that persist indefinitely and tho...

The paper concerns the current position of the Polish Society of Allergology Food Allergy Section on the diagnosis and management of food allergies. The aim of this position is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the diagnosis and management of patients with allergic hypersensitivity to foods. This position statement includes a systematic review of studies in three areas, namely, the e...

Wheat grain is a major staple of our diet. However, proteins derived from wheat grain have been implicated in both respiratory and food allergies, as well as in contact hypersensitivity. Numerous wheat allergens are present in the different fractions of wheat grain: a-amylase/trypsin inhibitor and lipid transfer protein are found in the water/salt soluble fraction, and omega5-gliadins and LMW-g...
