The Feline and the Swine: A Peculiar Case in an Allergy Clinic.

Cross-reactivity between mammalian proteins, such as that in Pork Cat Syndrome, remains a topic of great interest. This syndrome, characterized by an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated response to porcine albumin triggered by sensitization through cat epithelium, has been sparsely documented. We discuss a 41-year-old female who developed a pruritic rash within 30 minutes of consuming pork.

Uterine Anaphylaxis Due to Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) for Inhalant Allergens: A Case Series.

Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), commonly known as "allergy shots," aims to achieve a clinical tolerance for allergens that cause symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, allergic asthma, or insect sting allergies. Systemic reactions to SCIT are classified in severity from one organ system (grade 1) to anaphylaxis that potentially may have a fatal outcome (grade 5). Uterine cramps fall under grade 2, and they are rarely reported during SCIT.
