TI  - Pollen-Food Allergy Syndrome in Korean Pollinosis Patients: A Nationwide Survey.
PG  - 648-661
LID - 10.4168/aair.2018.10.6.648 [doi]
AB  - PURPOSE: Pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is an immunoglobulin E 
      (IgE)-mediated allergy in pollinosis patients caused by raw fruits and vegetables 
      and is the most common food allergy in adults. However, there has been no 
      nationwide study on PFAS in Korea. In this study, we investigated the prevalence 
      and clinical characteristics of PFAS in Korea. METHODS: Twenty-two investigators 
      participated in this study, in which patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis 
      and/or bronchial asthma with pollen allergy were enrolled. The questionnaires 
      included demographic characteristics, a list of fruits and vegetables, and 
      clinical manifestations of food allergy. Pollen allergy was diagnosed by skin 
      prick test and/or measurement of the serum level of specific IgE. RESULTS: A 
      total of 648 pollinosis patients were enrolled. The prevalence of PFAS was 41.7% 
      (n = 270). PFAS patients exhibited cutaneous (43.0%), respiratory (20.0%), 
      cardiovascular (3.7%) or neurologic symptoms (4.8%) in addition to oropharyngeal 
      symptoms. Anaphylaxis was noted in 8.9% of the PFAS patients. Seventy types of 
      foods were linked to PFAS; e.g., peach (48.5%), apple (46.7%), kiwi (30.4%), 
      peanut (17.4%), plum (16.3%), chestnut (14.8%), pineapple (13.7%), walnut 
      (14.1%), Korean melon (12.6%), tomato (11.9%), melon (11.5%) and apricot (10.7%). 
      Korean foods such as taro/taro stem (8.9%), ginseong (8.2%), perilla leaf (4.4%), 
      bellflower root (4.4%), crown daisy (3.0%), deodeok (3.3%), kudzu root (3.0%) and 
      lotus root (2.6%) were also linked to PFAS. CONCLUSIONS: This was the first 
      nationwide study of PFAS in Korea. The prevalence of PFAS was 41.7%, and 8.9% of 
      the PFAS patients had anaphylaxis. These results will provide clinically useful 
      information to physicians.
