| description | Allergic reactions to bananas have rarely been reported. The clinic reports mostly moderate local allergic reactions (Oral Allergy syndrome) to bananas, though some reports state reactions reaching anaphylaxis. We report three cases of banana allergy. The first case, immediately after giving a teaspoon of banana to a 7-month-old baby by the mother, he was admitted to the emergency department with the complaints of vomiting, urticaria, swelling of the mouth and eyes. The second case, after some banana yogurt was eaten by a 6.5-month-old baby, she presented with a rash which developed at the 3rd hour. In the third case, a 16-year-old male patient applied with itchy rashes on his body after eating a banana in 1-2 hours. Our cases are presented to emphasize that urticaria and anaphylaxis may occur due to banana allergy. |
