Description

<p> Representative food allergies in adults are immediate symptoms (urticaria, anaphylaxis, etc.), food type-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis and oral allergy syndrome. All of these develop with an IgE-dependent mechanism, and anaphylaxis and FDEIA are severe. There are both sustained cases of childhood onset and adult onset in adult food allergy, although most of adult food allergic patients who consult medical institutions are the latter. Many of these cases, unlike those of childhood onset, do not have spontaneous remission, with the exception of anaphylaxis by hydrolyzed wheat allergy, usually lasts for the lifetime. Causes of adult food allergies are such as wheat, crustaceans, fish fruits, and parasite (Anisakis) allergy and oral mite anaphylaxis are important to be distinguished. In general, adult is more severe than children in food allergy, and it is important to note the history of chronic diseases such as asthma and cardiovascular disease, and the use of β-adrenergic blockers and ACE inhibitors as therapeutic agents.</p>
