Wybrane reakcje krzyżowe w alergiach górnych dróg oddechowych i pokarmowych

Allergic rhinitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and oesophagitis are characterized by IgE-mediated reactions. There was a strong correlation between mites component resolved diagnostic (CRD) and chronic allergic rhinitis. CRD had important influence on cross- reaction's diagnostics. The majority of birch allergic patients are IgE-sensitized to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 as well as to the major apple CRD Mal d 1 and soy bean allergen Gly m 4. Birch pollen-related oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is a common type of food allergy, transient and mild in nature. More information is discovered about the possible causal association between allergy and vocal pathologies or eosinophilic eosophagitis (EoE). Cross-reactivity of the wheat CRD may be important. Allergenic extracts and molecular components are available at present in FABER test. Allergen molecular diagnostics may represent a useful way in allergy work-up. Many data suggest that components resolved diagnostics constitutes a reliable tool for the diagnosis of pollen-food syndromes or other form of cross-reactivity.
