In general, kiwi allergy is characterized by local discomfort, but systemic reactions such as rash, angioedema, rhinitis, conjunctivitis or anaphylaxis can be triggered. Objective: To determine the prevalence of sensitization and allergy to kiwi in adults with allergic diseases. Methods: By means of a cross-sectional, retrolective study, data corresponding to 370 patients aged ≥16 years were analyzed. Results: 226 patients had positive skin reaction against aeroallergens. The prevalence of food sensitization was 84/226 (37.2%; 95 % CI = 31.1 to 43.6). Overall, the prevalence of sensitization to kiwi fruit was 15/226 (6.6%; 95% CI = 3.9 to 10.7), and of kiwi allergy, 2/15 (13.3%; 95% CI = 2.5 to 39.1); one patient had symptoms consistent with oral allergy syndrome, and another, gastrointestinal and cutaneous manifestations. Conclusion: The prevalence of sensitization to kiwi fruit is not a rare event; in contrast, symptoms related to its consumption are uncommon.http://revistaalergia.mx/ojs/index.php/ram/article/view/293Hipersensibilidad a alimentosActinidiaActinidiaceaeRinitis alérgicaAsma |
