Encore series: Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS)
In this series, we feature past online events or webinars. This month, we’re featuring a session on pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS). Birch and timothy and orchard grass pollens are common causes of spring and summer pollen allergies. If you have itching or tingling in your throat after eating certain fresh fruits, vegetables, and tree nuts, it might be pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS), also known as oral allergy syndrome (OAS).
With this webinar, you’ll get a better understanding of the clinical features of PFAS and how to differentiate it from IgE-mediated food allergy, be able to identify common food and pollen cross-reactivity patterns and learn more about reactions and their severity, and explore management strategies and treatment including the role of antihistamines.
