Various works have been published, mainly by Scandinavian authors, in which a partial immunological identity has been found to exist between birch pollen and hazelnut and apple. However, our attention has been particularly drawn to the high proportion of @entity1 who are allergic to the apple and other fruits, which in some cases has been as much as 50 and 70%, and in whom an oral @entity111 alone is considered sufficient a symptom of @entity566 to certain foodstuffs. However due to the fact that the incidence of @entity566 to fruit in @entity1 who suffer from pollen-related @entity566 is much lower in this area, being in the order of 7%, and because of the absence of birch, we decided to carry out our investigation in the opposite direction to that chosen by the Scandinavian researchers. That is to say, from the point of view of @entity1 suffering from @entity566 to fruits and vegetables (these being the foodstuffs which most frequently produce @entity56 in our own particular environment) we decided to investigate: 1) which foodstuffs, according to clinical history, are most frequently responsible for producing @entity566 ; 2) their possible co-existence with pollen related @entity566 ; 3) which pollens are responsible for producing a higher rate of positive results in @entity1 ; 4) and finally, by means of the RAST inhibition technique, to discover it a cross-reactivity might exist between these pollens and the peanut or the @entity3587 . We chose 40 @entity1 (19 females and 21 males), between the ages of 5 and 49 years old, whose clinical history showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that they displayed symptoms of immediate @entity56 after the ingestion of certain fruits and/or vegetables. The technique employed in the skin tests was that of scratch of the skin from the backs of the @entity1 (in a prone position), systematically using fresh natural foodstuffs, and at the same time trying to ensure that they were of the same type as those that had originally produced the above-mentioned symptoms in the @entity1 . On 193 occasions we carried out passive transfers (the Prausnitz-K  stner method or P.K.), and on 13 @entity1 we carried out oral provocative tests (cases with positive scratch and uncertain clinical histories). With regard to the pollens, we used @entity653 -based antigens of the type: @entity5369 , @entity4135 , Artemisia vulgaris and Parietaria officinalis of Dome/Hollister-Stier, and the Bencard gramineae.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
