Alpha-gal syndrome and delayed anaphylaxis after ingestion of red meat: A case report.

α-gal syndrome (AGS) is caused by the intake of products containing α-gal (galactose-α-1,3-galactose) like mammalian meat. Over the last decade, scientific literature about AGS has been increasing, but the true burden of cases is still unknown [1, 2]. In the USA (University of Virginia Allergy Clinic), the number of confirmed cases of AGS was 24 in 2009 [3] and increased to 34,000 in the entire USA by 2019 [4].
