Abstract: Food allergies affect all ages and cause various clinical symptoms like hives, edema, respiratory distress, gastrointestinal problems, and anaphylaxis. Diagnosis is challenging due to self-reported allergies overstating prevalence and objective testing like skin prick tests and oral food challenges. Plant allergens are widespread factors in food allergy, and accurate identification of the provoking product is necessary for targeted treatment. Clinical allergy to exotic fruits, manifested by an allergic syndrome, is quite common. Due to the wide distribution of the problem, this work is devoted to an empirical study of the prevalence of food allergy to exotic fruits, as well as an analysis of their combinations and characteristic clinical manifestations.
