Buckwheat allergy is frequent in Asian countries such as Japan because of widespread use of buckwheat in food and bed furniture. In Switzerland such reactions are very rare and mostly due to ingested buckwheat in the form of pizoccheri and buckwheat bread. We describe 6 cases of allergic reactions due to buckwheat comprising urticaria (all pat.), quincke edema (4 pat.) and asthma (5 pat.). 4 patients reacted to ingestion of buckwheat, and 2 patients with occupational exposure were allergic to inhaled buckwheat. Sensitizations were proven in all patients by positive skin tests and specific IgE (RAST). Treatment consisted of strict allergen elimination.
由于荞麦在食品和床上用品中的广泛使用，荞麦过敏在日本等亚洲国家很常见。在瑞士，这种反应非常罕见，主要是由于食用了皮佐克里（一种意大利面食）和荞麦面包形式的荞麦。我们描述了6例因荞麦引起的过敏反应，包括荨麻疹（所有患者）、昆克水肿（4例患者）和哮喘（5例患者）。4例患者因摄入荞麦而产生反应，2例职业暴露患者对吸入的荞麦过敏。所有患者均通过阳性皮肤试验和特异性IgE（放射变应原吸附试验）证实了致敏。治疗包括严格消除过敏原。
