Document Details : Title: A not so healthy muesli: a case report Author(s): MEYSMAN M, SCHELFAUT D, VINCKEN W Journal: Acta Clinica Belgica Volume: 64 Issue: 4 Date: 2009 Pages: 366-368 DOI: 10.2143/ACB.64.4.1002506 Abstract : We present a patient with severe anaphylaxis, angioedema, hypotension and shock. The near fatal allergic reaction was caused by eating yoghurt with muesli containing pine nuts. The patient developed an acute infero-posterolateral myocardial infarction due to systemic hypotension and shock. Food allergy to pine nut was demonstrated by dosage of specific IgE to pine nut. |
