Abstract
Caffeine has rarely been reported as the cause of allergic reactions.
We describe a 10-year-old child who developed urticaria after the inta
ke of coffee and cola beverages. The prick test and the oral challenge
test with caffeine were both positive. Nevertheless, the oral challen
ge test with theophylline, another methylxanthine, was negative.
