The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum L., is the source of both poppy seeds and opium. The commercially available seeds are widely used as ingredients for various kinds of food. IgE-mediated sensitization to poppy seeds is rare, but, if present, clinical symptoms are usually severe. Cross-sensitizations between poppy seeds and other food allergens have been described with sesame, hazelnut, rye grain and kiwi fruit. We report the case of a 17-year-old female with an apparently food-allergic reaction after ingestion of a poppy seed cake. Allergological workup revealed a poppy seed anaphylaxis and led to the identification of a novel cross-sensitization with buckwheat.
罂粟(Papaver somniferum L.)是罂粟籽和鸦片的来源。市售的罂粟籽被广泛用作各种食品的原料。由免疫球蛋白E介导的对罂粟籽的致敏反应很少见,但如果存在,临床症状通常很严重。已有报道称罂粟籽与芝麻、榛子、黑麦谷物和猕猴桃等其他食物过敏原之间存在交叉致敏反应。我们报告了一例17岁女性在食用罂粟籽蛋糕后出现明显食物过敏反应的病例。过敏学检查显示为罂粟籽过敏,并发现了与荞麦的一种新的交叉致敏反应。
