Background : Generally it is recognized that the occurrence of fruit allergy is attributed not to the sensitization of itself but to the cross reactivity with pollens or latex. But the relationship as to the sensitization between pollen and latex is obscure. So we aimed to investigate the relation of sensitization among pollens, fruits and latex. Methods : We tried to examine latex-specific IgE titer and practice skin prick test of latex for the patients of pollen-food allergy syndrome. Results : It was confirmed that some patients of pollen-food allergy syndrome showed positive reactions against both specific IgE and skin prick test of latex, though they could tolerate latex products in their daily lives. We present here four patients of such clinical courses concretely. Conclusion : The patients of pollen-food allergy syndrome should be practiced examination about latex allergy, even if they can use latex products without any symptoms. And more if positive results are obtained, additional examination such as immunoblot and IgE RAST inhibition test are recommended to practice in order to clarify the unresolved problems, such as 1) which factor is the major allergen to cause cross-reactivity among these three factors? 2) what occurs if patients of same clincal courses with our cases continue to use latex products? Further investigation will be indispensable to resolve these problems in the future.

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide with about 10^5-10^6 molecular weight existing in cell walls of zygomycetes. Chitosan decreases serum neutral fat and cholesterol levels and has dietary fiber action, and many products have recently been sold as health foods. Here, we report a case of immediate-type allergy for chitosan-containing health food with a review of the literature. The patient was a 47-year-old female person who developed systemic urticaria and difficulty in breathing after oral ingestion of chitosan. Since skin tests (prick test and scratch patch test) were positive, the test was done using another commercial chitosan, and was positive. The patient was diagnosed as having chitosan-induced immediately-type allergy, and was instructed to avoid ingestion of chitosan. The patient has developed no symptom thereafter. Regarding allergic reactions to chitin and chitosan, contact dermatitis induced by chitosan-containing cream has been reported from France and Portugal, but to our knowledge, there has been no report of immediate-type allergic reactions. Chitosan is a polysaccharide, not protein, but may have functioned as a food allergen because of its molecular weight and general properties.

Background : Airway surface liquid is thought to be regulated by the ion transport processes across the airway epithelium in a vectorial manner. Short circuit current (Isc) measured by Ussing chamber is an indication of electric permeability because of mutually related transportation of amount of ion between apical and basolateral membrane. Methods : Guinea pig trachea was mounted on Ussing chamber and short-circuited current was determined continuously. After basolateral application of eicosanoids such as PGD_2 and LTC_4/LTD_4/LTE_4, Ramatroban, CRTH2 receptor antagonist and Pranlucast, LT receptor antagonist was added from basolateral side. A typical Cl-channel blocker, NPPB, was added from apical side. Results : Isc were increased after basolateral application of eicosanoids. These effects were partly inhibited by each antagonist. Cl^- channel blocker suppressed effects of each eicosanoids. Conclusion : Eicosanoids alter the ion transport mechanism via chloride channels on the airway epithelium that can be blocked by those antagonists.
