[Generalized urticaria due to food allergy (codfish)].

A Ferré, J Piñol, E Simal

    Medicina Cutanea Ibero-Latino-Americana
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient developed severe generalized urticaria after eating raw cod, suggesting a food allergy. Subsequent skin contact with cod also triggered urticaria, indicating potential digestive tract sensitization.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Urticaria is a common skin reaction.
    • Food allergies can manifest in various ways.
    • Atopy is a predisposition to allergic diseases.

    Observation:

    • A patient experienced generalized urticaria after consuming raw cod.
    • The patient had no prior history of atopy or significant medical findings.
    • A second, more severe urticaria episode occurred after handling the same food one month later.

    Findings:

    • Skin patch testing with cod induced contact urticaria.
    • The reaction is presumed to be immunologically mediated.
    • Clinical presentation suggests sensitization occurred through the digestive tract.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential route of food sensitization via the digestive system.
    • It underscores the importance of considering food allergies in unexplained urticaria.
    • Further research may elucidate mechanisms of food sensitization through ingestion and contact.
