“…Anaphylaxis is a severe form of allergic disease, and when such a response occurs as a food allergy it is important to confirm the causative food component to prevent recurrence. Severe allergic reactions caused by RJ are rare: to our knowledge, only six cases have been reported in Japan 3–5 and 19 further cases have been reported overseas 1,6–9 . The patient was aged less than 30 years in 15 of these cases, and was female in 14 cases.…”

Anaphylaxis is a severe form of allergic disease. Royal jelly is widely consumed in Japan, but a few cases of anaphylaxis caused by royal jelly have been reported. We encountered a 26-year-old Japanese woman who developed anaphylaxis after drinking a beverage of crude royal jelly including honey. She had a history of bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis and food allergy (abalone). Prick tests were performed with the beverage of crude royal jelly including honey and with two other beverages including honey. Only the crude royal jelly beverage showed a positive reaction. An oral challenge test with the crude royal jelly beverage was not performed, but a similar test with a beverage including honey caused no symptoms. A positive response to the beverage of crude royal jelly was not observed in normal volunteers. A positive diagnosis of anaphylaxis due to royal jelly was made based on the positive prick test, systemic clinical symptoms and the negative prick tests in healthy volunteers. Moreover, the patient had no symptoms when taking lemon and orange, which were present as essences in the crude royal jelly beverage, and also had no response to honey after anaphylaxis. Increased consumption of royal jelly in health food supplements may increase the incidence of royal jelly-related allergic reactions. Therefore, royal jelly should be considered as a causative allergen in food-induced anaphylaxis.

Food‐induced anaphylaxis caused by ingestion of royal jelly

We report a case of food-induced anaphylaxis caused by ingestion of royal jelly. After taking royal jelly and several other medicinal products, a 33-year-old Japanese male developed severe facial pruritus and erythema, followed by vertigo, numbness in his fingers, generalized pruritus, wheals, dyspnea, wheezing and impaired consciousness. He was treated with corticosteroid and fluid therapy, and his symptoms subsided. Upon allergy testing, his only positive reaction was to royal jelly. Given the clinical symptoms and the positive prick test to royal jelly, a diagnosis of anaphylaxis due to the ingestion of royal jelly was made. In this paper, we describe this case and review the relevant published work.

“…Une revue de la littérature nous a permis de colliger plus d'une trentaine de cas d'allergie à la gelée royale [5,13,15,25,28,30,31,36,37,40,43,45,46,48,49].…”

“…-En règle générale, les symptômes sont graves : asthme aigu souvent sévère [5,15,28,30,31,40,43,47,48], angio-oedème [30], anaphylaxies et chocs anaphylactiques [13,30,31,36,43,[45][46][47] dont au moins deux cas mortels [5,45]. D'autres auteurs ont rapporté une gastroentérite à éosinophiles [36] et une colite hémorragique [49] ; -une femme de 28 ans, asthmatique depuis l'âge de trois ans, devait développer un asthme aigu grave avec anaphylaxie après la quatrième injection d'Abiocef ® (cefonicid).…”

Allergies au miel et aux produits de la ruche

Les produits de la ruche comportent un grand nombre d'allergènes provenant du corps des abeilles et des produits qu'elles récoltent (pollens, nectar, propolis) et fabriquent (miel, gelée royale). Si les IgE du sérum des allergiques aux abeilles sont capables de fixer un grand nombre de protéines du miel, la prévalence de l'allergie au miel est faible chez les allergiques aux hyménoptères ou chez les apiculteurs. En revanche, l'allergie aux pollens en particulier de Composées (armoise, camomille, pissenlit) constitue un facteur de risque d'allergie au miel et à la gelée royale. L'éviction des produits en cause est la seule parade. Toutefois, le miel et les pollens, et à un degré moindre la gelée royale, sont souvent masqués dans les produits alimentaires, diététiques et énergétiques. Il faut aussi se méfier des compositions d'herboristerie non étiquetées. Une surveillance des accidents allergiques au miel, à la gelée royale et à la propolis est indispensable.
