Resolution of IgE-mediated fish allergy (original) (raw)

This paper presents a case study of an 18-year-old Portuguese male with a history of severe IgE-mediated fish allergy, who successfully reintroduced fish into his diet after years of avoidance. The patient experienced several allergic reactions in early childhood, leading to a strict fish avoidance diet for two years. Through monitored oral food challenges and regular evaluations, he was able to safely consume multiple fish species without further reactions. This indicates the potential for some individuals with fish allergy to outgrow their sensitivity, emphasizing the need for follow-up and reassessment in allergic patients.
