“…The predictive factor latex allergy has been reported in earlier studies on severity of hazelnut and peanut allergy 30,31 and has been suggested as part of a cluster of skin-related risk factors, also including atopic dermatitis and symptoms upon skin contact. 32 The latter was selected in models 1 and 2 in the present study.…”

BackgroundPru p 3 and Pru p 7 have been implicated as risk factors for severe peach allergy. This study aimed to establish sensitization patterns to five peach components across Europe and in Japan, to explore their relation to pollen and foods and to predict symptom severity.MethodsIn twelve European (EuroPrevall project) and one Japanese outpatient clinic, a standardized clinical evaluation was conducted in 1231 patients who reported symptoms to peach and/or were sensitized to peach. Specific IgE against Pru p 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and against Cup s 7 was measured in 474 of them. Univariable and multivariable Lasso regression was applied to identify combinations of parameters predicting severity.ResultsSensitization to Pru p 3 dominated in Southern Europe but was also quite common in Northern and Central Europe. Sensitization to Pru p 7 was low and variable in the European centers but very dominant in Japan. Severity could be predicted by a model combining age of onset of peach allergy, probable mugwort, Parietaria pollen and latex allergy, and sensitization to Japanese cedar pollen, Pru p 4 and Pru p 7 which resulted in an AUC of 0.73 (95% CI 0.73–0.74). Pru p 3 tended to be a risk factor in South Europe only.ConclusionsPru p 7 was confirmed as a significant risk factor for severe peach allergy in Europe and Japan. Combining outcomes from clinical and demographic background with serology resulted in a model that could better predict severity than CRD alone.

“…This cross-reactivity is known as latex-fruit syndrome (96)(97). The main types of fruit related to this type of allergic reaction are bananas, avocados, kiwifruit, grapes, passionfruit, pineapples, peaches, papayas, walnuts, tomatoes, and cherries (65,(96)(97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102). It is characterized by an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to two different allergenic sources: latex and fruit.…”

“…It is characterized by an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to two different allergenic sources: latex and fruit. The main allergens responsible for this cross-reaction are Hev b5, Hev b6, and Hev b7, which are proteins related to the protection system of the latex plant (Hevea brasiliensis) and are also contained in avocados, papayas, pineapples, tomatoes, and other vegetables (98,(102)(103)(104).…”

Objective: The aim was to determine the prevalence and types of the allergies present among dental professionals in Costa Rica. Materials and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on 664 dentists who completed a self-reported questionnaire. A descriptive cross-sectional study with inferential analysis was carried out. Results: Dentists reported allergies prior to studying dentistry in 39% of cases, 36% reported chronic illnesses, and 61% of the dentists reported first-degree relatives with some type of allergic reaction. Different allergies had a similar prevalence among the dental professionals (ranging between 19%-26%), all allergic manifestations occurred within the first 120 minutes after exposure. The average time of exposure to dentistry-related environments was 16 years (95% CI) among all the dentists surveyed. Conclusions: There is a positive correlation between the presence of a chronic illness and the predisposition to develop allergic reactions among dentists. In addition, there is a directly proportional relationship between age, time of exposure to dental environments, and the risk of developing allergic conditions to dental materials. The main adverse reactions reported due to exposure to dental materials, medicines and/or food were gastrointestinal, skin, and respiratory problems.

A 9-year-old girl with atopic dermatitis developed persistent plaques on the lips, hands, and fingers that were unresponsive to topical steroids. Her mother reported that she was "addicted" to costume jewelry and developed rashes in reaction to a number of adornments, ranging from rubber bracelets to costume metal jewelry and belt buckles. A careful history of jewelry exposures was taken and patch testing was performed to identify allergenic sources. Patch testing revealed allergy to nickel, gold, and thiuram mix. The case illustrates the importance of investigating a range of different types of allergens when evaluating for jewelry sensitivity in children with frequent use of accessories, including rubber jewelry, plastics, dyed yarns, beads, metals, and ceramics. This article provides an overview of jewelry allergies and the potential allergens requiring screening.
