Popis: The possibility of an IgE-mediated allergic mechanism in food-induced migraine remains controversial. Twenty consecutive migraine patients, 11 with food-induced migraine, 9 without, were investigated for determination and counting of immunocyte populations (IgA, IgM, IgE, IgG containing cells) by biopsies at duodenum 2 level. Conventional histology and plasmocyte populations were not significantly different between the two groups of migraine patients. This study does not support the existence of an IgE-mediated allergic mechanism in food-induced migraine.
