[Role of vegan diets in food allergies-risk of developing food anaphylaxis?].

We report about a 28-year-old woman with an anaphylactic reaction to falafel. The diagnosis of type 1 allergy to peas was made based on the detailed medical history, the sensitization profile and an oral food challenge. Pea (Pisum sativum) is a legume that is increasing used, for example, as protein flour in vegetarian and vegan food products. In addition to the case report, we discuss the anaphylaxis risk of food used in the vegan diet.
