Abstract

Buckwheat has been reported as a food allergen that can induce urticaria, angioedema and anaphylaxis. Moreover, it can cause occupational asthma and acute exacerbation in patients with asthma. Here, we present a case of an asthmatic patient with bronchial constriction due to buckwheat, who was treated for bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis.

메밀은 식품알레르기의 흔한 원인이며 그 알레르기 반응은 두드러기와 혈관부종부터 아나필락시스까지 다양한 임상 양상을 보인다. 또한 천식을 일으킬 수도 있고 천식과 같은 알레르기 질환에서 악화인자로 작용할 수 있다. 저자들은 아토피 피부염, 천식으로 약물 치료 중인 환자에서 메밀이 포함된 전을 먹고 기관지 수축을 보인 경우를 경험하였기에 증례를 보고한다.
