This study highlights a rare case of chronic urticaria and angioedema linked to wheat consumption. Allergy testing confirmed wheat hypersensitivity, emphasizing the need to consider food allergies in chronic skin conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Wheat is a staple food in India, consumed in various forms.
  • Wheat-induced urticaria is infrequently reported, suggesting unique hypersensitivity mechanisms.
  • Chronic urticaria and angioedema can significantly impact quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of chronic urticaria and angioedema associated with wheat intake.
  • To investigate the diagnostic approach and clinical features of wheat-related hypersensitivity.
  • To raise awareness about less common food allergies.

Main Methods:

  • A 35-year-old female patient with chronic urticaria and angioedema was evaluated.
  • Detailed patient history correlating symptoms with wheat consumption was obtained.

  • Skin prick testing with wheat antigen and oral food challenge were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient's history strongly suggested a link between wheat intake and urticaria episodes.
    • Skin prick testing with wheat antigen yielded positive results.
    • An oral challenge with wheat successfully induced urticaria within 30 minutes.

    Conclusions:

    • This case underscores the possibility of wheat-induced urticaria, even if rare.
    • Prompt diagnosis through allergy testing and oral challenges is crucial.
    • Unusual presentations of food hypersensitivity should be considered in clinical practice.
