Diagnosis of Life-Threatening Alpha-Gal Food Allergy Appears to Be Patient Driven

Diagnosis of Life-Threatening Alpha-Gal Food Allergy Appears to Be Patient Driven

Objective: Patients exhibiting life-threatening symptoms associated with the alpha-gal food allergy (delayed urticaria or anaphylaxis due to mammalian meat) are frequently undiagnosed, causing unnecessary emergency department (ED) and health care visits, and extensive pain and suffering. This study...
