Shrimp Allergy in Italian Adults: A Multicenter Study Showing a High Prevalence of Sensitivity to Novel High Molecular Weight Allergens

Abstract

Several allergens other than tropomyosin are involved in shrimp allergy in adult Italian patients. Some hitherto not described high molecular weight allergens seem particularly relevant in this population and their cross-reactivity with HDM allergens makes them novel potential panallergens of invertebrates.
