[Anaphylaxis syndrome induced by exercise].
The authors report the case of a 12 year-old boy with exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Angioedema was the main symptom and was accentuated by ingestion of an orange prior to exercise. Exercise-induced anaphylaxis is due to mast cell degranulation that is triggered by exercise alone or, less commonly, by the combination of a sensitizing food and exercise. The symptoms of exercise-induced anaphylaxis may be moderate or severe, with laryngeal dyspnea and shock. Prevention is based on avoidance of the offending food before exercise and a reduction of the intensity (and even the suppression) of exertion.
