Food allergies affect 6% of children <3 years of age, but this ratio decreases by half for adults. Allergic reactions are commonly caused by egg, milk, wheat, and soybean in children and peanuts, hazelnuts, and seafood in adults (1). Common conditions relating to food allergy are topic dermatitis, urticaria, and angioedema. Angioedema is the swelling of the subcutaneous and submucosal tissue and often involves the lips, tongue, larynx and base of the mouth. It occurs occasionally but can be life-threatening (2). We report a case of acute onset angioedema and anaphylactic shock following the intake of packed cream of mushroom soup.
