Anaphylaxis to Beluga caviar.

Fish roe is an extremely rare cause of anaphylaxis and although its consumption has increased in recent years. We described the case of a 59-year-old man, who experienced an anaphylactic reaction after consuming caviar. Skin prick-test were performed with Beluga caviar, salmon caviar, cod, salmon, hen egg yolk and egg white, ovalbumin, ovomucoid, shrimp and mold. Only SPT to Beluga caviar was positive. The absence of sensitization to fish and hen egg was confirmed by undetectable specific IgEs to cod, parvalbumin (Gad c 1 and Cyp c 1), egg yolk and egg white, ovalbumin and ovomucoid. An immunoblot was also performed and showed an IgE-reactive band indicated that the patient was sensitized to a 26 kDa protein in Beluga caviar. In the present case, immunoblotting of the patient's serum revealed a single IgE-reactive band at 26 kDa band, which does not appear to correspond to the previous cases.
