Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) caused by fish and others is prevalent in the Mediterranean regions but is less frequently reported in Japan. This case report describes a 3-year-old Japanese girl who developed FPIES triggered by multiple seafoods, including swordfish, cod, and squid. The diagnosis was confirmed through oral food challenge tests (OFC), which led to repeated vomiting and an increase in thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) levels.

Method: Patients who were positive for exercise provocation tests in Miyagi Children's Hospital from April 2012 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified into food-dependent exerciseinduced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) group and post-OIT-FDEIA group.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of exercise provocation tests after oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies, focusing on the need for exercise restrictions post-allergen consumption.
- - Data from 91 patients at Miyagi Children's Hospital showed that 15 (around 16%) tested positive for exercise-induced allergic reactions after consuming allergens, with varying rates for different foods.
- - The findings suggest that exercise tolerance assessments are crucial before lifting exercise restrictions, as some patients continue to experience intolerance despite OIT.
Hyperresponsiveness to Boiled Egg Yolk in Early Life Leads to Prolonged Egg Allergy.
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res
May 2019
Article Synopsis
- Hen's egg is a major allergen for children in Japan, with most able to eat heated egg yolk, although some show severe reactions.
- The study investigated whether early hyperresponsiveness to boiled egg yolk affects tolerance to eggs over time.
- Results showed that only 15.4% of patients with hyperresponsiveness could safely eat heated whole eggs after 3 years, suggesting that this condition may lead to persistent egg allergies in children.
