In this report 9 cases with the buckwheat allergose treated and observed in our allergy clinic are summarized. The following is to be specially mentioned as the most distinguishing traits of the buckwheat allergose. 1) Among such hypersensitive manifestations with buckwheat as asthmatic attacks, urticaria eruption, gastrointestinal disorders, nasal symptoms or congestion of conjunctiva, the boundary line cannot be drawn. 2) The manifestation develops both when the allergen substance invades into the body through mouth and when through air way. 3) Judging from the results of various kinds of allergic examination, the hypersensitive manifestations are attributed to the allergic mechanism based on the antigen-antibody reaction in the strict sense of the word. And the buckwheat allergose is considered to be the model of the type 1 allergy (that is immediate type allergy) proposed by Coombs and Gell. 4) The antigenity of buckwheat is extremely strong, and the hyposensitization treatment with buckwheat must not easily be applied for fear of a severe and dangerous reaction due to the injection of the buckwheat extract.
本报告总结了在我们过敏诊所治疗和观察的9例荞麦过敏病例。以下是荞麦过敏最显著的特征，需特别提及。1）在以荞麦为过敏原的超敏反应表现中，如哮喘发作、荨麻疹、胃肠道紊乱、鼻部症状或结膜充血，这些症状之间并无明显界限。2）当过敏原物质通过口腔或气道侵入人体时，都会引发症状。3）从各种过敏检查结果判断，这些超敏反应表现严格来说是基于抗原 - 抗体反应的过敏机制所致。荞麦过敏被认为是库姆斯和盖尔提出的1型过敏（即速发型过敏）的典型例子。4）荞麦的抗原性极强，由于注射荞麦提取物可能引发严重且危险的反应，因此不宜轻易进行荞麦脱敏治疗。
