Article Synopsis
  • Lipid transfer protein (LTP) is a key protein linked to food-induced anaphylaxis, particularly in Mediterranean European countries, but this was the first reported case in China.
  • A 12-year-old boy in China suffered from recurrent anaphylaxis triggered by intense exercise and showed high immunoglobulin E levels sensitized to various foods and pollens, especially mugwort and multiple grains and fruits.
  • After receiving guidance on avoiding certain foods before exercise and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, the boy experienced no further episodes over a 6-month follow-up, highlighting the need for awareness of LTP in similar cases.
