Anaphylaxis related to avocado ingestion: a case and review.

Elissa M Abrams1, Allan B Becker, Thomas V Gerstner.   

Abstract

Anaphylaxis to avocado, independent of latex sensitization, has been rarely reported in the literature. This case report describes a 15 year old male who experienced anaphylaxis within half an hour after eating avocado-containing food. Avocado consumption is common in both North America and South America. It is important to consider avocado as a cause of anaphylaxis, even in patients not sensitized to latex.
