Abstract

The genus Ferula known as “Çaşır otu” in Turkey is belonging to Umbelliferae family and there are about 17 species of this genus in Turkish flora. The Ferula species such as F. communis, F. orientalis, F. rigidula DC are consumed as vegetable and also known as an aphrodisiac in the East Anatolia. So far, an allergic reaction stemming from Ferula consumption has not been reported. A 39 year-old male patient had been admitted to the emergency room due to itching of the scalp, asymetrical swelling in the face, lip, tongue and shortness of breath developed in 30 minutes following consuming of Ferula. Prick-to-prick test with raw Ferula was found to be positive. Skin prick tests with Ferula extracts and grass, weed and tree pollens gave positive results. Herein, we firstly described a patient with food allergy due to Ferula.

Özet

Çaşır otu olarak bilinen Ferula Doğu Anadolu’da yetişen bir bitkidir. F. communis, F. orientalis, F. rigidula DC gibi yaklaşık 17 türü bulunmaktadır. Bölge halkı tarafından haşlanmış formda salata olarak tüketilmektedir ve peynir yapımında kullanılmaktadır. Ayrıca, afrodizyak özelliği ile de bilinmektedir. Günümüze kadar Ferula tüketiminden kaynaklanan allerjik reaksiyon bildirilmemiştir. Otuz dokuz yaşında erkek olgu salata olarak Ferula tüketiminden yaklaşık 30 dakika sonra saçlı deride kaşıntı, yüz, dil ve dudakta asimetrik şişlik ve nefes darlığı yakınmalarıyla acil servisimize başvurdu. Çiğ Ferula ile prick-to-prick testi ve Ferula ekstreleri, ot, yabani ot, ağaç polenleri ile deri prik testi pozitif saptandı.
