“…Mushroom spores exposed to the air are known as inhalation allergens [54]. A case report of 32-year-old woman with allergic asthma associated with exposure to mushroom spores was published by Branicka et al in 2021 [55]. She developed symptoms of bronchial asthma during work in oyster mushroom farm, while the symptoms disappeared after leaving the workplace.…”

Airborne fungi are one of the most ubiquitous kinds of inhalant allergens which can result in allergic diseases. Fungi tend to grow in warm and humid environments with regional and seasonal variations. Their nomenclature and taxonomy are related to the sensitization of immunoglobulin E (IgE). Allergic cross-reactivity among different fungal species appears to be widely existing. Fungus-related foods, such as edible mushrooms, mycoprotein, and fermented foods by fungi, can often induce to fungus food allergy syndrome (FFAS) by allergic cross-reactivity with airborne fungi. FFAS may involve one or more target organs, including the oral mucosa, the skin, the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, and the cardiovascular system, with various allergic symptoms ranging from oral allergy syndrome (OAS) to severe anaphylaxis. This article reviews the current knowledge on the field of allergic cross-reactivity between fungal allergens and related foods, as well as the diagnosis and treatment on FFAS.

“…A month later, the patient was exposed again to the allergen for packing mushrooms and ten minutes after the exposure she experienced dyspnoea, tachycardia and urticaria with the need of ambulance intervention. Ultimately, after excluding a sensitization to common inhalants and foods through skin prick tests, the allergy to oyster mushroom was confirmed by a prick-to-prick test and a specific inhalation challenge test [19].…”

Purpose of reviewAirborne anaphylaxis is a rare disorder defined by the occurrence of anaphylactic reactions to inhaled allergens, which may arise not only in occupational exposure but also in common settings. Foods are the most common cause of airborne anaphylaxis, even organic mixtures scents. The other important cause is represented by drugs, while in the wide range of other causes, there are often reports on unique cases. This review aims to make an overview about the potential causes of airborne anaphylaxis, by analysing what is described in literature on this topic.Recent findingsConcerning epidemiology, no data on specific prevalence of airborne allergy in adults are available. To date, only one study evaluated the specific prevalence of airborne allergy with anaphylaxis to foods in children, resulting in 5.9% of reactions due to exposure to aerosolized foods, compared with 78% of reactions caused by food ingestion. In addition to anaphylaxis, airborne-related reactions may also present with symptoms such as rhino-conjunctivitis, wheezing, dyspnoea and asthma.SummaryA detailed anamnesis facilitates a correct diagnosis, which allows appropriate therapeutic and preventive interventions, but, similarly to rare diseases in general, only specialized doctors are able to implement it. The assumption of the approach used in emergency medicine for other causes of anaphylaxis, that is referring the patient at discharge to an allergist who will teach the basic notions to recognize symptoms and access the appropriate therapy, would allow the patient to avoid situations of serious danger.

“…Mushrooms are a common food that is consumed around the world. Inhalation-related mushroom spore respiratory reactions 1 , 2 and a case of anaphylactic reaction following inhalation of oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ) 3 have been reported. However, allergic reactions following ingestion of mushrooms are rare, and only a few mushroom allergens have been identified.…”
