Patients allergic to hazelnut proteins showed clinic symptoms from oral allergy syndrome, acute urticaria, systemic anaphylaxis, rhinoconjunctivitis, angioedema to avoidance (avoidance: advised to avoid hazelnut food because of a positive skin test). The resulting data including the age and sex, are illustrated in this table. (Note: F: female, M: male).
Avoidance*: advised to avoid the food because of a positive skin test, without a clinical history of hazelnut allergy.
