Preprandial food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis to banana
1Allergy Unit, Department of Medicine, Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.
Abstract:
Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis is a disorder in which a reaction develops only in association with physical exertion that generally takes place postprandially. The reaction that occurs following food intake after exercise is uncommon. Banana is an infrequent cause of anaphylaxis, which has been previously reported in combination with postprandial exercise in only 1 patient. A probable case of preprandial food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis to banana is described herein together with a brief review of recent related literature.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Hypoglycemia and Glucagon
