Results Nine children with GA are followed at our Pediatric Allergy Clinic, with ages ranging from 1-14 years and 8 are boys. Early presentation occurred between 5 and 9 months of age: 6 with cutaneous manifestations, 2 with gastrointestinal manifestations and 1 with anaphylaxis. The route of sensitization was cutaneous (with oat cream) and by food ingestion. Serum specific IgE to gluten ranged from 0,73 to 100KUI/L. Four children had specific IgE to other cereals without gluten (corn and rice). All children exhibited other atopic diseases. Eight children had multiple food allergies (egg, milk or fish). Four children developed respiratory allergy (asthma and rhinitis) and 2 of them had specific IgE to cereals pollens. All children adopted a gluten free diet and have adrenaline self-injectors. Two patients suffered anaphylaxis episodes after the diagnosis and 3 children resolve their GA (1, 2 and 6 years).
