Analysis
Peanut
- Positive peanut storage proteins
- Marker for severe clinical reactions: severe peanut allergy
Soy
- Positive soy storage proteins
- Risk marker for severe reactions up to anaphylaxis
Interpretation & summary
- Peanut risk components (Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, Ara h 6) were positive: peanut allergy
- Surprisingly, soy allergens Gly m 5 and Gly m 6 were also positive
- Gly m 5/6 are also risk markers that can cross-react with Ara h 1/3
- Mala regularly consumed soy products like soy milk and tofu over a long period of time (vegan diet)
- Remained as a silent sensitisation until a peanut allergy also affected the soy allergy: co-sensitisation
- Avoidance of nut and soy products is strongly advised to prevent anaphylactic shock
- Emergency kit with an adrenaline autoinjector, a corticosteroid, and an antihistamine is prescribed
Novel findings revealed by ALEX FOOD:
