ABSTRACT
Seafood is a major cause of food allergy and anaphylaxis worldwide. Shellfish is included among the "big eight" food groups, which are responsible for more than 90% of all cases of food allergy. Approximately 2.5% of the world's population has experienced an adverse reaction to seafood. Seafood allergy is one of the most frequent and lethal allergies that exist. The several allergenic proteins involved in allergic reactions that have been described in recent years include tropomyosin, arginine kinase, myosin light chain, and sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein. Despite all the data reported in the last few years, shellfish allergy is still diagnosed and treated as it was 50 years ago. The only effective treatment to prevent allergic reactions to shellfish is avoidance. This review aims to update recently published data on shellfish allergy and to highlight those areas that have yet to be resolved
RESUMEN
La alergia al marisco es una causa importante de alergia alimentaria y anafilaxia en todo el mundo. Los mariscos se incluyen entre los "ocho grandes" grupos de alimentos, responsables de más del 90% de todos los casos de alergia alimentaria. Aproximadamente el 2,5% de la población mundial ha experimentado alguna reacción adversa a los mariscos. La alergia al marisco es una de las alergias más frecuentes y letales que existen. Se han descrito varias proteínas alergénicas involucradas en las reacciones alérgicas en los últimos años tropomiosina, arginina quinasa, cadena ligera de la miosina, proteína de unión a calcio, entre otras. A pesar de la información obtenida en los últimos años, la alergia a los mariscos todavía se diagnostica y trata como hace 50 años. Actualmente, el único tratamiento efectivo para prevenir reacciones alérgicas a los mariscos es la evitación. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo recoger todas las actualizaciones realizadas en las publicaciones de los últimos años y resaltar las cuestiones pendientes de resolver
