Molekulare Allergiediagnostik

Zusammenfassung

Die häufigsten Nahrungsmittelallergien im Erwachsenenalter richten sich neben Nüssen und Leguminosen gegen Früchte und Gemüse. In einer Übersichtsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 (Ballmer-Weber u. Hoffmann-Sommergruber 2011) wurden die wichtigsten Forschungsergebnisse zur molekularen Diagnostik bei Frucht- und Gemüseallergie der Jahre 2009 und 2010 zusammengestellt. Das folgende Kapitel basiert auf dieser Zusammenfassung und wurde mit neuen Daten zum Thema ergänzt.

Der Beitrag basiert auf einer Publikation der Autoren, die 2014 im Allergo Journal International erschienen ist (Ballmer-Weber BK, Homann-Sommergruber K: Update: molecular diagnostics of allergies to vegetables and fruits. Allergo J Int 2014; 23: 24–34) und nun als Buchkapitel modifiziert und aktualisiert wurde.
