title: [A case of anaphlaxis caused by mite-contaminated Okonomi-yaki].
abstract: A 21-year-old man, who had suddenly developed dyspnea with sneeze, cough and nasal congestion following supper, was admitted to our hospital because of hypoxemia and hypercapnia. Physical examination revealed wheezing in all lung fields and skin flushing. He took home-made Okonomi-yaki made from flour, which had been opened few months ago, and then had been remained uncooked at room temperature. Skin prick tests showed positive for problem flour and mite, but negative for just opened control flour. Collectively, we gave his diagnosis of anaphylaxis caused by mite-contaminated Okonomi-yaki.
