Article Synopsis
- Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS), also known as Pollen-Food Allergy Syndrome, is characterized by allergic reactions occurring primarily after eating raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
- Symptoms are triggered by heat-sensitive proteins in these foods that are similar to proteins found in pollen, leading to cross-reactivity.
- The text discusses clinical features, diagnosis, and management strategies for OAS, along with key insights and common challenges that allergists may face when treating patients.
