Popis: naphylaxis after the intake of paprika and with rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms related to her current occupation, as spices-and-condiment seller, induced the patient to attend to a medical consult. The patient tolerated another solanaceous in her diet. The study was based on skin test using own extracts of different solanaceous, both at room temperature and after warming them up. Skin test with prick-by-prick test were also carried out with fresh solanaceous. All skin tests showed a positive result. The study was completed with conjunctival challenge-test using all the different extracts (positive result with paprika) and use-test with fresh solanaceous (positive result with paprika). In laboratory study, specific IgE was detected to all the solanaceous, as well as histamine release-test positive. Crossed-reactivity between the paprika antigenic determinant recognized by the patient and the one presented by the rest of solanaceous could not be detected using RAST-inhibition studies. This results and the good tolerance of other solanaceous in diet could show that the paprika's antigenic determinant, what induced allergic symptoms in the patient, was not present in the rest of solanaceous.
