Description
Grapefruit, as an etiological factor of food allergy, is classified as having a high degree of allergenic activity (without taking into account individual characteristics). Manifestations such as skin diseases (atopic dermatitis, urticaria, Quincke's edema), respiratory organs diseases (allergic rhinitis, asthma), and less often - digestive system diseases (allergic stomatitis, cheilitis, gastritis, colitis, gastroenteritis) occur most frequently. The determination of specific immunoglobulin E to this allergen in increased amounts indicates an acute allergic reaction (immediate-type hypersensitivity).
