AB  - Seafood allergies have been increasing their presence in the last 2 decades. 
      Allergic reactions to seafood can range from mild urticarial and oral allergy 
      syndrome to life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Ingestion of seafood 
      infested with Anisakis larvae can cause a disease known as anisakiasis with 
      symptoms similar to true seafood allergy. Furthermore, some adverse reactions to 
      seafood including histamine fish poisoning (HFP), and intolerance to histamine 
      can trigger clinical symptoms, which, although nonallergic in origin, are similar 
      to true immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions. Because seafood 
      allergy usually remains a lifelong food allergy, this review focuses on the 
      current knowledge on fish and shellfish allergens and emphasizes the importance 
      of differentiating seafood allergy from other allergy-like reactions 
      (anisakiasis, HFP, and intolerance to histamine). Key teaching points: * Fish and 
      shellfish are potent allergens that can provoke serious IgE antibody-mediated 
      adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. * Sensitization to seafood allergens 
      can be achieved by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. * Shellfish major 
      allergen, tropomyosin, shares significant homology to arthropods (dust mites and 
      cockroaches). * Accidental exposures to seafood products cross-contaminated with 
      fish or shellfish allergens (hidden allergens) during processing may present a 
      health risk for sensitive individuals. * Allergens of fish parasite A. simplex 
      present common hidden allergens in seafood, particularly in raw and undercooked 
      home-made fish dishes. * Symptoms caused by HFP, histamine intolerance, and 
      anisakiasis are similar to true seafood allergy.
