Journal ArticleDOI

Gastroallergic anisakiasis: borderline between food allergy and parasitic disease-clinical and allergologic evaluation of 20 patients with confirmed acute parasitism by Anisakis simplex.

TL;DR: It is suggested that gastroallergic anisakiasis be considered a distinct clinical entity in which the predominant symptoms are hypersensitivity symptoms and inWhich the correct diagnosis is not only important in the management of the acute reaction but also in the prevention of further allergic episodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anisakis simplex: sensitization and clinical allergy.

TL;DR: The experience of the last several years shows that allergic hypersensitivity symptoms in gastroallergic anisakiasis are clinical events accompanying a wide range of immunologic reactions as a host response against a ubiquitous parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Anisakis allergy debate: does an evolutionary approach help?

TL;DR: Allergic phenomena share common pathways with the immune response against helminth parasites, as well as putatively crossreacting antibodies, as are used in food allergy, depend on the clinical relevance of specific IgE and deserve careful interpretation in the various forms of A. simplex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anisakis simplex only provokes allergic symptoms when the worm parasitises the gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: Allergic symptoms are the most frequent manifestation of A. simplex parasitism and the latency of appearance of symptoms in patients positive for Anisakis larvae, patients without larvae at gastroscopy and patients without digestive symptoms are compared.
