Description
Peach is a genus of fruit trees of the Rosaceae family. The fruits are characterised by a moderate degree of allergenic activity. Peach exhibits cross-reactivity with tree pollen; consequently, patients with tree pollen pollinosis frequently experience allergic symptoms upon consumption of peach during the spring season. Sensitivity to peach may extend to apricot, plum, cherry, apple, and raspberry.
Determination of specific IgE antibodies to the whole peach allergen enables assessment of sensitization to this fruit. In the event of a positive result, additional testing for IgE to Pru p 3 is recommended to evaluate the risk of severe allergic reactions.
