Immediate allergic reactions to orange are rare and immunoglobulin (Ig) E–mediated [1]. We report the case of a 28-year-old man with anaphylaxis induced by fresh orange juice. The reaction was dose-dependent and could only be confi rmed by challenge test, because specifi c IgE to orange was undetectable by skin prick test (SPT) and CAP immunoassay. The patient had experienced identical anaphyla...
