The authors described a 43-year-old male Thai practical nurse (PN) who developed anaphylaxis several times between 2013 and 2019, possibly caused by jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and eggplant (Solanum melongena) ingestion. The occupational medicine physician suspected that the anaphylaxis might be due to a cross reaction of these plants to latex protein in medical gloves as this PN had a history of contact urticaria while using disposable latex gloves in December 2014. The symptoms disappeared after he used sterile latex powdered gloves with reusable. According to the history and the result of specific IgE against latex of 28.1 KUA/L and jackfruit of 1.61 KUA/L, although no skin prick test was performed, he was then diagnosed with latex-fruit syndrome. The use of nitrile gloves and latex products avoidance were advised. At the 1-year follow-up, he had no recurrent allergic symptoms or anaphylaxis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
