スギ花粉抗原特異的減感作療法中に症状消失した口腔アレルギー症候群例

Abstract

We report a case of oral allergy syndrome treated with immunotherapy for Japanese cedar pollinosis. The 54-year-old male subject, it should be noted, was the author himself. The subject suffered oral itching from eating fruits-peaches, apples etc-, but continued eating peaches. Since June 2009, he underwent weekly injections of allergen-specific subcutaneous immunotherapy for Japanese cedar pollinosis. By August 2009, he ate peaches, then other fruit, without oral symptoms. This case suggests that such allergen-specific subcutaneous immunotherapy is effective in rapidly treating pollinosis with oral allergy syndrome.
