We describe the case of a young woman with asthma and confirmed food allergy to sesame who had 2 severe systemic reactions after the inadvertent ingestion of tahini, a paste made with ground sesame seeds that is not generally known by physicians and patients as a sesame-containing food. A double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge confirmed the allergy to tahini in our patient. As new products and recipes are being introduced from around the world on a regular basis, it is essential that at-risk patients are able to obtain information about allergens used as ingredients and as potential contaminants. This should be applied not only to packaged food but also to freshly made foods, such as those served in restaurants.
我们描述了一名患有哮喘且确诊对芝麻有食物过敏的年轻女性的病例，她在无意中食用了芝麻酱后出现了2次严重的全身反应。芝麻酱是一种用磨碎的芝麻籽制成的糊状物，医生和患者通常并不认为它是一种含芝麻的食物。一项双盲安慰剂对照食物激发试验证实了我们的患者对芝麻酱过敏。由于世界各地经常推出新产品和新食谱，高危患者能够获取有关用作成分和潜在污染物的过敏原信息至关重要。这不仅应适用于包装食品，也应适用于新鲜制作的食品，如餐馆提供的食品。
