ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Although cross-reactivity with other plant-based foods and latex has been described, allergies to potatoes and tomatoes are uncommon. OBJECTIVE: To study the different sensitization patterns in patients who are allergic to potatoes and/or tomatoes. METHODS: Skin prick tests were carried out with fresh foods and extracts, specific IgE determination and allergen detection by SDS-PAGE and IgE-Immunoblotting with both raw and heated potato and tomato extracts. RESULTS: In 10 patients, two thermostable allergens to potato extract were detected; the first one with a molecular weight that is compatible with Sola t 1 (43 kDa, patatin) and the second one with a molecular weight of 14-22 kDa, which could correspond to the allergens Sola t 4 (16 kDa) and Sola t 2 and Sola t 3 (21 kDa); in two patients who are allergic to potatoes and two patients who are allergic to tomatoes, a thermostable allergen that is compatible to Sola I 2 (50 kDa) was detected. The patient had presented oral allergy syndrome with some types of potatoes and showed higher IgE reactivity to two thermostable potato allergens. CONCLUSIONS: The allergen sensitization patterns were similar in all the patients that had been studied, regardless of the symptoms. A new allergen involved in the allergy to solanaceae plants has been detected.


Antecedentes: Aunque se ha descrito reactividad cruzada con alimentos vegetales y látex, la alergia a la papa y al tomate es infrecuente. Objetivo: Estudiar los diferentes patrones de sensibilización en pacientes alérgicos a la patata o tomate. Métodos: Se realizaron pruebas de punción cutánea con extractos y alimentos frescos, determinación de IgE específica y detección de alérgenos mediante SDS-PAGE e IgE-Immunoblotting con extractos de patata y tomate crudos y calientes. Resultados: En 10 pacientes se detectaron alérgenos termoestables a extracto de patata, uno de peso molecular compatible con Sola t 1 (43 kDa, patatina) y otro de 14-22 kDa que podría corresponder a los alérgenos Sola t 4 (16 kDa), Sola t 2 y Sola t 3 (21 kDa); en dos pacientes alérgicos a la patata y dos alérgicos al tomate se detectó un alérgeno termoestable de aproximadamente 42 kDa. En un paciente alérgico al tomate se detectó un alérgeno termoestable compatible con Sola l 2 (50 kDa); había presentado síndrome de alergia oral con algunos tipos de patatas y mostró mayor reactividad IgE a dos alérgenos termoestables de la patata. Conclusiones: Los patrones de sensibilización a los alérgenos fueron similares en los pacientes, independientemente de los síntomas. Se ha detectado un nuevo alérgeno implicado en la alergia a las solanáceas.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Furosemide is the most commonly prescribed loop diuretic worldwide. Although, its extended use, furosemide rarely induces allergic reactions. Until 2013, only 49 cases of furosemide allergy had been described. CLINICAL CASE: We have reported on a patient who developed a delayed, erythematous and pruritic skin eruption after the ingestion of furosemide. The implication of furosemide in the reaction was established by a positive lymphocyte transformation test (LTT). CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of hypersensitivity to furosemide in which this drug was confirmed as the trigger by a positive LTT. LTT could become a decent diagnostic alternative for patients who experience delayed reactions to furosemide.


Antecedentes: La furosemida es el diurético de asa más comúnmente prescrito en todo el mundo. A pesar de su amplio uso, rara vez induce reacciones alérgicas. Hasta 2013 solo se habían descrito 49 casos de alergia a la furosemida. Caso clínico: Mujer de 68 años con hipertensión tratada con amlodipina, así como rinoconjuntivitis alérgica. Después del consumo de 40 mg de furosemida por cinco días debido a edema bilateral maleolar presentó exantema cutáneo maculopapular, eritematoso y pruriginoso. Los resultados positivos en la prueba de transformación de linfocitos confirmaron la implicación de la furosemida en la reacción. Conclusión: El caso que se reporta es el primero de hipersensibilidad a la furosemida en el que se confirma la implicación del fármaco por medio de una prueba de transformación de linfocitos positiva, la cual podría convertirse en una alternativa diagnóstica para los pacientes que experimentan reacciones adversas tardías a la furosemida.
