Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol. 2002 Jun;2(3):233-8. doi: 10.1097/00130832-200206000-00013.

Abstract

Fruits are increasingly recognized as a cause of food allergy. The wide cross-reactivity among these foods has been extensively studied. In this review we will focus on studies addressing the clinical relevance of cross-reactivity among fruits, the diagnostic management of patients complaining of reactions to multiple fruits, and adequate dietary recommendations.
