We report the case of a 38-year-old man who was bitten several times during his life by a tick. He didn't report any previous history of anaphylaxis after the ingestion of red meat. The serum specific IgE showed positivity to α-Gal. The proximity of the bits didn't increase the titer of IgE antibodies to alpha-gal. We could hypothesize that the frequency of the exposure to the tick Corresponding author bites and the amount of tick bites during his lifetime induced a sort of tolerance in this patient.
我们报告了一名38岁男性的病例,他一生中曾多次被蜱虫叮咬。他既往没有食用红肉后发生过敏反应的病史。血清特异性IgE显示对α - 半乳糖呈阳性。叮咬部位的接近程度并未增加针对α - 半乳糖的IgE抗体滴度。我们可以推测,该患者一生中接触蜱虫叮咬的频率以及蜱虫叮咬的数量在其体内诱导了一种耐受性。
