Allergy to Fenugreek
Conditions
Keywords
allergy, children, legumes, sensitization, diagnostic
Brief summary
The prevalence of allergy to legumes is inscreasing, especially in children and for some of these legumes, little is known and there are not included in the list of priority allergen. The overall goal of this study is to improve knowledge about fenugreek allergy. The principal aim is to evaluate the prevalence of allergy to fenugreek confirmed by a positive oral food challenge in children sensitized to fenugreek. The secondary objectives are to describe the case of allergy to fenugreek (co-allergies, severity, age..), to evaluate diagnostic values of skin prick-tests and specific IgE and to compare the molecular profile of specific IgE to peanut between sensitization to fenugreek without allergy and sensitization with a confirmed allergy
Interventions
diagnostic values of skin prick test and specific IgE for allergy confirmed by oral food challenge (routine, not an intervention)

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria
* patient over 18 years old * undeterminate oral food challenge
Design outcomes
