  METHODS
  A 48-year-old woman presenting with palatal itching and generalized urticaria following ingestion of olive fruit, 5 years after being diagnosed with olive pollinosis. She did not have a history of other food allergy or urticaria. The prick-test was positive in olive pollen.The olive pollen specific IgE was positive. The oral provocation test was positive for olives and negative for olive oil. The diagnosis of "pollen-food olive-olive syndrome" was accepted.
