Summary:[...]SPTs with a commercial apricot jam, as well as both raw and boiled commercial dried plums, did not induce any skin reaction. [...]this study demonstrates that sensitization to high-molecular-weight latex allergens might cause cross-reactivity to Prunoideae and that such cross-reactivity might be clinically relevant.
