The occurrence of oral symptoms after food consumption defines oral allergy syndrome (OAS). Thus, our objective was to report the association of oral allergy syndrome triggered by jicama. In this study, we report 10 cases of OAS associated with jicama eating. Of the total cases, 6 were women; the mean age of the group was 28.3 ± 11.4 years. All patients suffered from allergic rhinitis and 3 of them also had asthma. On average, patients experienced the onset of symptoms 5 minutes after eating jicama. As expected, the patients had oral ailments, mainly itching in the pharynx, palate, and lips; furthermore, 4 out of 10 also had skin symptoms. The skin test by the prick-prick technique with fresh jicama had a mean diameter of 8.1 ± 5.4 mm. In closing, jicama should be considered as a cause of OAS, especially in regions where it is cultivated and eaten in large quantities.
食用食物后出现口腔症状可定义为口腔过敏综合征（OAS）。因此，我们的目的是报告由豆薯引发的口腔过敏综合征的关联情况。在本研究中，我们报告了10例与食用豆薯相关的口腔过敏综合征病例。在所有病例中，6例为女性；该组的平均年龄为28.3±11.4岁。所有患者均患有过敏性鼻炎，其中3例还患有哮喘。患者平均在食用豆薯后5分钟出现症状。正如预期的那样，患者出现口腔不适，主要是咽部、上颚和嘴唇瘙痒；此外，10例中有4例还出现皮肤症状。用新鲜豆薯通过点刺技术进行的皮肤试验平均直径为8.1±5.4毫米。总之，应将豆薯视为口腔过敏综合征的一个病因，尤其是在大量种植和食用豆薯的地区。
