Background A considerable number of pollen-allergic patients develops allergy to plant foods, which has been attributed to crossreactivity between food and pollen allergens belongs to PR-10 proteins. The majority of these patients refuse from take the foods containing PR-10 explaining bad taste or sense of itch in the mouth syndrome of oral allergy (SOA). It is assumed that the primary is sensitization to pollen origin PR-10 proteins and induction of the IgE-aB to the fruit & vegetable origin PR-10 is secondary. The aim of the study: to measure the IgE-aB to PR-10 proteins in patients with SOA.
