Abstract
Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FEIAn) is a relatively rare disease. However, once the diagnosis of FEIAn and the causative food would be determined, the quality of life of the patient must be remarkably improved. For the accurate diagnosis of FEIAn the applying the provocation test should be desirable in all patients except for the severest case.
In April 2009 we proposed the standard protocol of the provocation test of FEIAn in the guideline of oral provocation test for food allergy 2009 from the study group of food allergy in Japan Pediatric Allergy Society. We hope that this standard test would contribute to the accurate diagnosis of FEIAn.
