Anaphylaxis induced by ingested molds

We present the case of a 22-year-old Spanish woman residing in Madrid with a personal history of milk and egg allergy, which she overcame in her childhood, and seasonal allergic rhinitis and asthma attributable to pollen allergy. No history of β-lactam allergy was recorded. She developed 5 mild to moderate anaphylactic reactions with generalized urticaria and angioedema in the eyelids together with dyspnea and wheezing, nausea, and occasional vomiting, with all symptoms appearing shortly after eating dry cured meat products or blue chees es, both of which she tolerated in the past.
