Alpha-gal IgE level can change rapidly. Reassessment of a patient's alpha-gal IgE level may be helpful in the patient's clinical follow-up. Pruritus related to the site of a previous tick bite strengthens the diagnosis of alpha-gal syndrome.

Screening tests for specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to food allergens, such as the multiple allergen simultaneous test (MAST), are widely used in patients with suspected food allergies in South Korea. We evaluated whether MAST could effectively screen wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) and α-gal syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively reviewed patients with WDEIA and AGS diagnosed with unequivocal history and positive sIgE results for omega-5 gliadin and α-gal using ImmunoCAP, respectively.

: IgE to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) is associated with (lone star tick) bites, accounting for the regional distribution of the alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). Longitudinal studies describing risk factors for incident alpha-gal sensitization are lacking. The objective of this project was to assess the incidence of alpha-gal IgE seroconversion and identify associated demographic, occupational, and geographical risk factors among US military personnel.

Alpha-gal syndrome is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to mammalian products that has been linked to the lone star tick. Early recognition and management of alpha-gal syndrome is key for desirable patient outcomes and informed nursing care can make all the difference. The purpose of this article is to provide background information regarding alpha-gal syndrome, review common sources of potential reaction triggers including food and medications, and discuss strategies to detect and avoid allergic reactions from occurring.
