Sesame allergy in adults

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) allergy is the most common seed allergy and has been increasingly reported worldwide.1 The variation in prevalence between populations is likely due to different food habits and awareness. Similar to peanut, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated sesame allergy begins early in life (usually before 2 years of age) and persists in 80% of patients.2 Clinical manifestations range from mucocutaneous, respiratory, and gastrointestinal manifestations to life-threatening systemic anaphylaxis.
