Background: Egg allergy is one of the most frequent food allergies in childhood while adult onset of egg allergy is a rare condition.
Case presentation: We report the case of a 30 years old man sent to our center in order to investigate gastrointestinal symptoms occurring since 2 years after egg and derivatives intake. He did not suffer from egg or other food allergies in childhood. He is an active smoker with a contact dermatitis related to nickel and mild allergic rhinoconjunctivitis to grass pollen. Skin prick test and serum specific IgE to egg were performed and revealed sensitization to egg proteins.
Conclusions: Even though IgE-mediated egg allergy affects children, this report witnesses a rare case of adult onset.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Molecular Allergy is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that publishes research on human allergic and immunodeficient disease (immune deficiency not related to HIV infection/AIDS). The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of the clinical, genetic, molecular and inflammatory aspects of allergic-respiratory (Type 1 hypersensitivity) and non-AIDS immunodeficiency disorders. However, studies of allergic/hypersensitive aspects of HIV infection/AIDS or drug desensitization protocols in AIDS are acceptable. At the basic science level, this includes original work and reviews on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the inflammatory response.
