We present a case of a 32-yearold female patient, who worked for 5 years in wheat and bakery products industry, who developed an occupational asthma and chronic urticaria after flour inhalation or ingestion of foods that containit. The patient underwent wheat OIT, that was well-tolerated with no severe reaction during treatment. We may conclude that wheat OIT is a safe therapy and may induce symptoms improvement in allergic asthma and urticaria in patients with wheat allergy. Wheat OIT may induce tolerance to allergic patients.
