Food allergies to red meat, specifically to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal), a mammalian oligosaccharide, are considered to be very rare, especially in Asia and Latin America. Most of the cases reported are characterised by symptoms of delayed urticaria or anaphylaxis after the consumption of red meat. Sensitisation to red meat has been linked to the use of cetuximab or tick bites, especially from the Amblyomma americanum and Ixodes spp species. Here, we documented a case study from a Colombian male patient with symptoms of delayed urticaria and anaphylaxis with a history of tick bites in Colombia. The patient presented with IgE antibodies specific to alpha-gal, which is the most common epitope linked to red meat allergy induced by tick bites.

A 70-year-old healthy woman was referred to our hospital for chronic urticaria. She did not have a history of allergy, asthma, and rhinitis. She was initially diagnosed with α-gal-related urticaria based on an episode of delayed-type urticaria after eating red meat. The results of the intracutaneous allergen test for beef and pork were negative. Fluorenzyme immunoassays specific for IgE against α-gal, beef, and pork were also negative. She was diagnosed with an α-gal-unrelated red meat allergy following the reproduction of urticaria by a food challenge test. The patient was unresponsive to several drugs, including antihistamines or immunosuppressants. However, omalizumab administration suppressed her symptoms. <b><i>Key Clinical Message:</i></b> The diagnosis of red meat allergy may require a repeatability test by consuming red meat even though serum α-gal IgE antibody might be negative. The α-gal-unrelated red meat urticaria may be responsive to omalizumab.

<p class="abstract">The goals of emergency management of angioedema include prevention of spontaneous eruption, maintaining and securing the airway and to stop the progression of the disease. Laryngeal edema is one of the life-threatening complications of angioedema that can be managed by endotracheal intubation or emergency tracheostomy or cricothyrotomy. Recently, delayed onset food induced anaphylactic reactions are being recognised widely due to better clinical knowledge and technology that can substantiate the diagnosis. The classical finding of anaphylaxis to only proteins have been disproved and delayed onset food allergy (i.e.) 3-6 hours after ingestion of food has been attributed to specific carbohydrate moieties in glycolipids and glycoproteins such as Galactose-α-1,3-galactose found in red meat (beef, pork and lamb). Even though it is seen rarely in the Indian population, it should be a part of the diagnostic algorithm in order to prevent fatal complications. Hereby reporting 39 years old male with undiagnosed red meat allergy presented with features of foreign body sensation throat and laryngeal oedema and managed conservatively with steroids and nebulisation.</p>
