A case of rice allergy in a patient with baker's asthma

Eur Ann Allergy Clin Immunol. 2012 Oct;44(5):207-9.

Abstract

A case of rice allergy in a patient with bakers asthma is described. On ISAC 112 IgE reactivity to wheat alpha-amylase/trypsin inhibitor (nTri a aA_TI) and lipid tranfer protein (rTri a 14) was found. We hypothesize that the reaction by oral ingestion was elicited by homologous molecules in rice seeds.
