Cutaneous: Urticaria-angioedema/pruritus |
By food ingestion or contact (an estimated 20% of acute urticarial cases are food allergy-related) [8,9]; severity of IgE-mediated food allergy can be determined by the percentage of the involved skin [10] |
Respiratory: Rhinoconjunctivitis/asthma |
Rarely isolated; commonly associated with other organ/apparatus involvement; can be triggered by allergen ingestion or by inhalation via aerosols (as in baker’s asthma) |
Neurological | Dizziness or weakness, change in the mental status, unconsciousness (generally associated with anaphylaxis) |
Cardiovascular | Tachycardia, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse (generally associated with anaphylaxis) |
