Abstract Background Although Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a common Japanese ingredient, there are few reports of IgE-mediated immediate food allergy caused by Japanese radish. Case presentation A 48-year-old woman developed urticarial lesions on her hands after grating Japanese radish and also developed lip edema and oral itching when she ate a salad composed of raw Japanese radishes. Skin prick testing was positive to extract of grated Japanese radish. Moreover, immunoblotting analysis showed IgE reactivity in the patient’s serum to a single band at the 18 kDa in grated Japanese radish, suggesting that the heat-labile 18 kDa protein of raw Japanese radish may be a radish-specific antigen. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient with hand urticaria, lip angioedema, and oropharyngeal pruritus to raw Japanese radish through IgE-mediated immediate allergic reaction. |
