  • Title: Allergy to house dust mite and snails: a model of cross-reaction between food and inhalant allergens with a clinical impact.
    Author: Pajno GB, Morabito L, Barberio G.
    Journal: Pediatr Pulmonol Suppl; 1999; 18():163-4. PubMed ID: 10093131.
    Abstract:
    A knowledge of cross-reactions between different allergens can facilitate the diagnosis of allergy. IgE cross-reactivity has been identified between house dust mite and snails. While most patients have mild symptoms, asthma and/or anaphylaxis may occur with these and other cross-reacting foods. It may be worthwhile to include measurement of IgE to some edible invertebrate animals in asthmatics, e.g. in mite allergic asthmatic patients who eat snails.
