Background The use of the microarray tool is an essential advantage in the allergy diagnosis process in patients with multiple sensitizations showing clinical patterns attributable to the underlying cross-reaction to a single or multiple panallergen. Among panallergens LTP is a thermostable and resistant to pepsin digestion allergen. This features makes it a potent food allergens and explains the frequent development of systemic symptoms. Objective Identify the allergen source which is causing complex clinical patterns in pediatric patients with multiple sensitizations.
