Ostra reakcja alergiczna po ekspozycji na alergen konia.

The relationship between man and horse goes back to prehistoric times. Horses are among the most significant human domesticated animals. Currently, due to mechanization, the role of horses as an economic resource has decreased, but their recreational role is still important. Taking into account frequent contact with humans, they are of great importance as a potential source of allergens, constituting a significant cause of various allergic reactions. The article describes a case of an acute allergic reaction in a patient with bronchial asthma after contact with a horse allergen, which was brought along with the clothing of a person who had contact with the animal. The frequency of allergies, the prevalence and types of allergens as well as anaphylactic reactions to horses are discussed. The application of diagnostics based on allergen components was discussed, as well as component diagnostics performed in the patient in the context of allergy to panallergens from the lipocalin group was described.
