Abstract

We describe two case reports presenting some novel information on fish FPIES. Fish FPIES to one fish does not always start at the same time to other fish. Additionally, development of tolerance to the index fish do not necessarily imply tolerance to other reactive fish. This reflects on the best management of children with FPIES fish.

Keywords: Children; Fish allergy; Food allergy; Food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome; Tolerance.
