Medical and Veterinary EntomologyAbstractAlpha‐Gal/α‐Gal is an oligosaccharide produced by non‐primate mammals. Humans have developed an immune response mediated by anti‐α‐Gal antibodies that can trigger an allergic reaction and cause anaphylaxis. In recent years, cases of patients with delayed allergic reaction to mammalian meat have been reported worldwide.

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2018 Over the past decade, there has been a growing awareness of a new allergic syndrome known as alpha-gal allergy or alpha-gal syndrome, commonly recognized as a red meat allergy. We performed a review of the literature to identify articles that provide both background on this syndrome in general and any reports of reactions to medications or medical ...

A tick-acquired red meat allergy
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2017 Allergic reaction is a common clinical picture in the Emergency Department (ED). Most allergic reactions are from food or drugs. A detailed history is an integral aspect of determining the causative agent of an allergy. Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) allergy is a tick-acquired red meat allergy that causes delayed-onset allergic reaction or ...

Allergy to Red Meat: A Diagnosis Made by the Patient and Confirmed by an Assay for IgE Antibodies Specific for Alpha-1,3-Galactose [PDF]
Case Reports in Dermatology, 2016 We report the first case of allergy to red meat observed in Ivory Coast. A 49-year-old male presented with pruritus. The diagnosis of allergy to red meat was confirmed by an assay for IgE antibodies specific for alpha-1,3 galactose.
