Abstract

An anaphylactic reaction occurred in a 57-year-old man after a prick by prick test with fresh kiwi and in a 29-year-old man after prick tests with some species of fish. Both patients had a history of anaphylaxis after ingestion of kiwi and fish, respectively. These cases suggest that, especially in patients with a history of anaphylaxis, all efforts should be made to minimize the risk of systemic reactions, and skin prick testing should be performed only in places equipped to treat anaphylaxis.
