α-Gal syndrome (AGS) is an allergic reaction to galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal) found in the salivary glands of ticks, mammalian meat excluding primates, and some antibody preparations, such as cetuximab. We report two cases of AGS diagnosed after ingestion of wild boar meat. Patient 1, a male in his 70s, developed anaphylactic shock about 3 h after eating wild boar meat. He was transported to our acute and critical care center in Nagasaki University Hospital because he had difficulty in moving. Patient 2, a female in her 60s, developed a skin rash about 2.5 h after ingesting wild boar meat. After visiting our department to investigate the cause of the disease, the sera of both patients were found to be positive for α-gal specific IgE antibody and were diagnosed with AGS caused by ingestion of wild boar meat. Reports of AGS diagnosed after ingestion of wild boar meat are rare in Japan. Compared with other prefectures, the consumption of wild boar meat in Nagasaki is relatively high in Japan. In the past 10 years, four cases of AGS were diagnosed at our department, half of which were caused by the ingestion of wild boar meat, the ratio is possibly higher than that in other prefectures in Japan.
