Abstract

Food-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anapylaxis (FDEIA) is a rare form of anaphylaxis in which anaphylaxis occurs when some unspecifi ed degree of physical activities are performed after ingestion of a culprit food.
A case report: A 14-year-old boy presented with urticaria, dyspnea, faint several times because of playing football after ingestion of shrimp, crab or beef. The time interval between food ingestion and unconsciousness were 2-3 hours. He was diagnosed as food allergy at primary care hospital until the diagnosis of FDEIA was made by an allergist. He must avoid intake shrimp, crab or beef before and after any physical activities at least 2 hours.
