Abstract

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mango, often referred to as the "King of Fruits," is a tropical delight scientifically known as Mangifera indica. Despite its delectable taste and numerous health benefits, it's important to recognise that mangoes can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. While mango allergies are relatively rare, they can cause discomfort and health concerns for those who are sensitive to certain compounds found in the fruit. In this case report, we discuss a patient who experienced oral allergy syndrome (type I hypersensitivity) after consumption of mango.

Case report: This paper represents the case of a 26-year-old male adult patient who presented with the chief complaint of experiencing 25 episodes of sneezing, an itchy throat, and facial puffiness after consuming mango. The patient had no prior history of allergies or co-morbidities.

Conclusion: The evidence in this case shows mango can be a potential cause for anaphylactic/Type I hypersensitivity reactions, which are rare. Still, more research has to be taken into account to confirm this type of adverse reaction.

Key words: oral allergy syndrome, mango consumption, type I hyper sensitivity to mango.
