'I've got hay-fever and my mouth is stinging!'.
2011
A case of oral allergy syndrome is presented. Crossreactivity of pollens with some fruit/vegetables causes immediate IgE-mediated symptoms localised to the mouth. Diagnosis is suspected from positive skin prick testing in the presence of a suggestive history. Management is by allergen avoidance. In serious and refractory cases, referral to a regional allergy clinic is recommended.
