The article in the Pediatric Allergy & Immunology journal discusses the first reported case of anaphylaxis to miswak (Salvadora persica), a natural toothbrush used in various cultures. The patient, a 10-year-old child with asthma and food allergies, experienced anaphylaxis after using miswak, confirmed by skin prick testing. While allergic reactions to miswak are rare, this case highlights the importance of considering immediate hypersensitivity to natural products, even in atopic patients. The study was funded by the Deanship of Scientific Research and the authors declare no conflicts of interest. [Extracted from the article] |
