Abstract
Allergy to fresh fruits and vegetables is IgE-mediated. Its main clini cal features are local, such as oral pruritus and swelling of lips and tongue but systemic symptoms such as urticaria, asthma, or anaphylact ic shock may occur. Clinical associations with allergic rhinitis due t o cross-reactive antigens of pollens and foods are frequent.
