Summary: | The shiitake mushroom (SM) is native from East Asia. The presence of SM has gained an enormous popularity among western countries in recent years, turning adverse reactions to SM intake into a more common event. Despite most of the reactions reported after SM intake are mainly flagellar dermatitis, no IgE-mediated reactions have been described yet. We present the first case reported of proven IgE-mediated urticariform reaction in a western patient after ingestion of shiitake mushroom. Given that increased consumption of this food is taking place in western countries, allergists should be aware of SM allergenic potential and thus it should be taken into account during the differential diagnosis of food allergies.
La présence de champignons Shiitake (CS) dans le régime alimentaire occidental s’est considérablement accrue ces dernières années, de sorte que les réactions indésirables à l’ingestion de CS pourraient également augmenter. Des effets indésirables, principalement des dermatites flagellaires, ont déjà été publiés, mais ils n’étaient pas médiés par les IgE. Nous présentons le premier cas d’un patient occidental présentant une urticaire généralisée à médiation IgE après l’ingestion de champignons shiitake, ce qui devrait être considéré dans le diagnostic différentiel d’une allergie alimentaire dans notre contexte. |
