Abstract

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.

成人发病鸡蛋过敏1例报告。

背景:鸡蛋过敏是儿童时期最常见的食物过敏之一，而成人发生鸡蛋过敏是一种罕见的情况。病例介绍:我们报告一名30岁男性病例，他在摄入鸡蛋及其衍生物2年后出现胃肠道症状。他小时候没有对鸡蛋或其他食物过敏。他是一个活跃的吸烟者，患有与镍有关的接触性皮炎和对草花粉的轻度过敏性鼻结膜炎。皮肤点刺试验和血清对鸡蛋的特异性IgE显示对鸡蛋蛋白敏感。结论:尽管ige介导的鸡蛋过敏影响儿童，但本报告见证了罕见的成人发病病例。

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.
