Abstract

The authors experienced two cases of buckwheat allergy. The first case was a 10-7/12 year old male boy and second case a 5-1/12 year old male boy. The chief complaints were cough, dyspnea, rhinorrhea and nasal obstruction for about 7 and 3 years, respectively in both cases. The diagnosis of these cases was confirmed by oral challenge tets. We report here the clinical and laboratory data of these patients with brief review of literature.
