Anaphylaxie à un allergène émergent masqué : aide du courriel

A pediatric case gives us a chance to discuss the principal aspects of allergy to buckwheat, an emerging food allergen, with a reactive threshold often very low. The symptoms of this allergy, often severe, appear after ingestion but also after its inhalation. Other specific lessons taken from this pediatric case include the perfect management of the anaphylaxis by the pediatric emergency service (Samu), including the correct use of injectable adrenalin, the importance of close communication between the patient's parents and the specialist via the Internet, plus the interest of food and restaurant professionals on the notion of masked allergens.
