- Abstract
- (en) Food allergy to persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is exceedingly rare. We report a case involving a 3,33-yearold child who experienced an episode of palpebral œdema with pruritus and facial erythema following the first ingestion of this fruit. Allergological investigation reveals a biological sensitivity to persimmon, with specific immunoglobulin E levels at 0,79 kU/L, as well as a positive skin prick-tests to persimmon fresh extract. An oral provocation test was also conducted, demonstrating no reaction to the ingestion of 1 then 2 grams of persimmon, but a similar reaction to the initial episode when ingesting 5 grams (resulting in a total cumulative dose of 8 grams)
