Abstract

Background We report the case of a 51 years old female that suffered from a systemic anaphylactic episode 5 minutes after the ingestion of manioc at the age of 50. This patient reported rhinoconjunctivitis since she was 20 years-old after contact with latex gloves and rhinoconjunctivitis and oral allergy syndrome after the ingestion of kiwi, banana and mango since the age of 30. The patient had also a history of eight surgeries since the age of 24 years-old.

Highlights

  • We report the case of a 51 years old female that suffered from a systemic anaphylactic episode 5 minutes after the ingestion of manioc at the age of 50

  • The molecular mass of the IgE binding bands was calculated by means of SDS PAGE immunoblotting

  • In order to study the presence of cross reacting IgE in the patient serum we carried out a SDS-PAGE immunoblotting-inhibition assay using manioc extract in solid phase and banana and latex as inhibitors
