Abstract

Objective: Food allergy is the most common cause of anaphylaxis in children and recent studies suggest that the prevalence of food allergies has increased. Among foods, fruits are rarely the cause of anaphylaxis. Although banana allergy has been identified among the causes anaphylaxis in adults, the incidence of banana anaphylaxis reported in children is very rare. In this case report a patient who developed anaphylaxis after banana ingestion was discussed.Case: A 4-year-old boy male patient admitted with widespread itching, swelling of the eyelids, urticarial rash in body following exposure to banana. In oral provocation test performed in order to confirm the diagnosis made with banana, urticarial papules were detected. Urticaria, swelling of the eyelids and wheezing complaints occured in the body in 10 minutes after banana was given. Bilateral rhonchus was presented in auscultation and the blood pressure of the patient measured was normal. The patient was diagnosed with anaphylaxis and 0.01 mg / kg IM epinephrine nebulizer with short-acting beta 2 agonists and antihistaminic treatment were given. The patient who recovered during follow-up was discharged with antihistaminics and 3-day oral methylprednisolone therapy. Recommendations were made to patient and adrenaline auto-injector was prescribed and its use was described. Conclusion: Although rare, children may develop anaphylaxis with bananas. Therefore, oral provocations for diagnostic purposes should be performed by experienced centers and necessary precautions should be taken against the reactions that may occur.

Özet

Amaç: Besin alerjisi çocuklarda anafilaksinin en sık nedenidir ve çalışmalar son yıllarda besin alerjisinin sıklığının arttığını göstermektedir. Besinler arasında, meyveler nadiren anafilaksi nedeni olarak yer almaktadır. Muz alerjisi erişkinler içinde anaflaksi nedenleri içinde saptanmış olmasına rağmen, çocuklarda bildirilen muz anaflaksisi olguları oldukça azdır. Bu olgu sunumunda muz alımı sonrasında gelişen bir anaflaksi olgusu tartışıldı. Olgu: Dört yaşındaki erkek hasta, muz alımı sonrası vücudunda yaygın kaşıntı, ürtikeryal döküntü ve göz kapaklarında şişlik ile başvurdu. Tanının kesinleştirilmesi amacıyla yapılan muz ile oral provokasyon testinde ürtikeryal papül saptandı. Muz verildikten 10 dakika sonra gövdesinde ürtiker, göz kapaklarında şişlik ve hırıltı şikayeti gelişti, dinlemekle bilateral ronküs mevcuttu ve hastanın ölçülen tansiyonu normaldi. Hastaya anafilaksi tanısı konuldu ve 0.01 mg/kg dan IM adrenalin, nebulizatör ile kısa etklili beta 2 agonist ve anti histaminik tedavisi verildi. İzlemde bulguları düzelen hasta antihistaminik ve 3 günlük oral metilprednizolon tedavisiyle taburcu edildi. Hastaya önerilerde bulunuldu ve adrenalin otoenjektör reçete edilip kullanımı gösterildi. Sonuç: Nadir de olsa çocuklarda muz ile anafilaksi gelişebilmektedir. Bu nedenle tanı amaçlı yapılacak oral provokasyonlar deneyimli merkezlerce yapılmalı ve gelişebilecek reaksiyonlara karşı gerekli önlemler alınmalıdır.
