  • Title: The oral allergy syndrome.
    Author: Ortolani C, Ispano M, Pastorello E, Bigi A, Ansaloni R.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1988 Dec; 61(6 Pt 2):47-52. PubMed ID: 3264668.
    Abstract:
    We have studied 262 patients suffering from hay fever and oral allergy syndrome after fruit and vegetable ingestion. The history and the results of RAST and skin test for pollen showed a contemporary presence of systemic and local symptoms in most of the patients; a close connection between age of onset of hay fever and oral allergy syndrome; a frequent association between allergy to some pollens and some vegetables, such as between apple, carrot, pear, cherry with birch pollen and tomato, melon, watermelon with grass pollen.
