“…1 Los estudios más antiguos que reconocen al SAO como entidad datan de 1987. Amlot et al fueron los primeros en reconocer la presencia de un grupo de pacientes con alergia alimentaria que presentaban sín-tomas únicamente en cavidad oral, acuñando en ellos el término.…”

Background: Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) or pollen-fruit syndrome is a type of food allergy. Its characteristics and associated allergens vary according to the studied population. There are few studies in Mexico about this topic, none in children. Objective: To describe clinical and epidemiological characteristics of OAS among children in Mexico. Methods: A descriptive, observational, transversal and prospective study was conducted. We included every patient from 6 to 18 years old with diagnostic suspicion of OAS, in which complete clinical history, skin test to food and pollens, and oral food challenge were performed. Results: We found a prevalence of 5.3% (29 patients): 55% were males. Average age was 10 ± 3 years, and average number of food implicated were 6.8 ± 4.1. Apple, peach and banana, were the most frequent food associated, and sensitization to oak and European privet, the more prevalent pollens found in OAS. Conclusion: OAS is a common type of food allergy, transient and mild in nature. In more than 90% of the cases is associated with allergic rhinitis and sensitization to pollens. In our population, profilins may be involved in its pathogenesis. However, more studies are required to prove this.

“…The antigens causing this specific food allergy were demonstrated to be either altered or destroyed by heat during canning and stewing processes. 1 Multiple studies documented that patients with pollen allergy also had hypersensitivity towards foods such as nuts, apple, shellfish, etc. 2,3 The term "oral allergy syndrome" was first used by Amlot et al in 1987 as he observed the onset of symptoms immediately after ingestion of specific foods and the symptoms were confined to the upper gastrointestinal tract.…”

Background Oral allergy syndrome is a unique type of food allergy caused by cross-sensitivity between inhalant allergens and food allergens. Despite its significant prevalence and potentially serious outcome, the knowledge base and practice patterns on OAS are not well known among otolaryngologists. Our study is designed to understand the practice patterns of otolaryngologists in screening, testing, and treating OAS through a web-based survey. Methods Three thousand otolaryngologists were randomly selected from a membership list of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. A survey was designed to include demographic questions and questions about OAS understanding, screening, and management. Surveys were sent to selected otolaryngologists via mail. Responses were de-identified and analyzed using SPSS. Results Out of the 50 survey responses, 46 reported treating environmental allergy in their practices. Twenty eight out of 46 reported knowing about OAS (60.9%). Fifteen out of the 28 physicians screened for OAS (53.6%). Out of the responders who knew about OAS, 12 (42.9%) reported diagnosing under 5 cases in the past year, 7 (25%) diagnosed 5 to 10 cases, and 7 (25%) reported diagnosed more than 10 cases in the past year. Eleven (39.3%) reported ordering component allergy testing for food allergies. Twenty six (92.9%) reported using avoidance, 18 (64.3%) prescribed oral antihistamine medications, 14 (50%) prescribed epi-pen, and 19 (67.9%) desensitized patients to environmental allergies as a treatment for OAS. 26 (93%) reported using more than one of the listed treatments. 10 (36%) reported using all four methods. Conclusion Only 60.9% of the responders had a knowledge of OAS. Only 53.6% of those screened for OAS. Current treatment for OAS includes avoidance of allergens, desensitization of environmental allergens, prescription of oral antihistamine and epi-pen. Nearly everyone (93%) reported using more than one treatment method.

“…Such good correlation is rare in food allergies, but may be found in hypersensitivity to fish (7,13,14,38). It is the purpose of this paper to present some clinical data from 89 children with asthma and/or urticaria due to fish, furnishing material for further allergologic and immunological studies.…”
