Food cross-reactivity in patients with pollen allergies

Abstract

The presence of cross-reactivity to the BetV1 in 17 % of cases indicates its widespread prevalence in case of sensitization to a major allergen of birch tree BetV1. The presence of sensibilization makes it possible to give recommendations to patients regarding exclusion from the diet of certain food allergens and to expect a high effect of Allergen-specific immunotherapy with this issue of the allergen component.
