meat is an uncommon, exotic dish that has increasingly become easily accessible across the United States. This presents a unique issue for patients with food allergies, as the cross-reactivity of reptile meat with fish and poultry allergy is not well-recognized. While there has been an established connection between those with fish allergy also reacting to reptile meat, it is even less known that poultry allergy may also have cross-reactivity with reptile meat. We present a case of a 25-year-old male patient who is able to consume fish but is allergic to chicken and who consumed alligator meat twice. During the second exposure, the patient experienced an anaphylactic reaction, as he was unaware of the possible cross-reactivity with his poultry allergy.
食用爬行动物肉在美国已越来越容易获得，这是一种不常见的异国菜肴。对于食物过敏患者来说，这带来了一个独特的问题，因为爬行动物肉与鱼类和家禽类过敏的交叉反应尚未得到充分认识。虽然已经确定对鱼类过敏的人也会对爬行动物肉产生反应，但鲜为人知的是，对家禽过敏也可能与爬行动物肉存在交叉反应。我们报告一例25岁男性患者，他能食用鱼类，但对鸡肉过敏，且曾两次食用短吻鳄肉。在第二次接触时，患者发生了过敏反应，因为他不知道爬行动物肉与他的家禽类过敏可能存在交叉反应。
