IgE-Mediated Cannabis Allergy and Cross-Reactivity Syndromes: A Roadmap for Correct Diagnosis and Management.
Curr Allergy Asthma Rep
August 2024
Department of Paediatrics and the Infla-Med Centre of Excellence, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- Increased access and decriminalization of cannabis has led to more reported cases of IgE-dependent cannabis allergy (CA) and related food allergies, but the true prevalence is likely underestimated due to a lack of awareness among healthcare professionals.

Article Synopsis
- Anaphylaxis is a serious medical emergency often associated with drug or latex allergies, but diverse causes should be examined quickly, including rare conditions like hypersensitivity from Echinococcus granulosus.
- An 18-year-old female patient presented with right thoracic pain and developed anaphylaxis after receiving paracetamol; her condition improved with treatment while a ruptured liver hydatid cyst was discovered.
- This case underscores that in situations like pleural punctures yielding abnormal fluid, clinicians should consider complicated hydatid cysts as a potential cause of anaphylaxis.

Department of Medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27106, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction triggered by substances like medications, foods, or exercise, resulting in multiple system failures, particularly affecting the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
