Abstract
The authors report two paediatric cases of pistachio nut food allergy and investigation of a crossed reactivity with peanuts. The possible c onsumption of a masked form of this new trophallergen and the existenc e of common epitopes with other members of the Anacardiaceae family co uld result in an increased frequency of pistachio allergy in the futur e.
