A Case of Perilla Seeds-induced Anaphylaxis
Abstract
- Perilla is a Korean traditioanal crop and perilla seeds are frequently consumed in many food products as seasonings and seed oil in this country. To our knowledge, this is the first report on perilla seeds-induced anaphylaxis and specific IgE determination to perilla seeds. We experienced a 20-year old man who had developed whole body urticaria, facial swelling, and shortness of breath 2 hours after eating two dumplings seasoned with perilla seeds. He had developed two more episodes of allergic reactions after eating some food seasoned with perilla seeds before. The skin prick test with perilla seed extracts showed strong positive reactions, and serum specific IgE antibodies to perilla seeds were highly detected by ELISA. Oral provocation test showed rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria, and severe asthmatic reaction.
