Abstract:
Buckwheat has been reported as a food allergen that can induce urticaria, angioedema and anaphylaxis. Moreover, it can cause occupational asthma and acute exacerbation in patients with asthma. Here, we present a case of an asthmatic patient with bronchial constriction due to buckwheat, who was treated for bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis.
