Article Synopsis
- Pollen-food syndrome (PFS) is an allergic reaction to proteins found in the pollen of various plants, mostly manifested when consuming certain raw fruits and vegetables that share similar proteins.
- The most commonly involved proteins include profilins, PR-10, and ns LTP, with birch-apple being the most typical example, affecting over 70% of birch-sensitized individuals.
- Diagnosis is often complex and may be missed, as symptoms mainly occur in the mouth but can lead to serious reactions like anaphylaxis; the primary treatment is an elimination diet since immunotherapy options are not widely available.
