Celery-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis.
Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, first reported in 1983, is a subtype of exercise-induced anaphylaxis. A case of celery-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis is reported. The presentation and management of these and other exercise-related physical allergies, including classic and variant cholinergic urticaria, is reviewed. As the prevalence of strenuous physical activity increases, it is important for emergency physicians to recognize unusual, but potentially serious, complications of exercise.
