"The in vitro data suggest, but do not prove, that the reaction was mediated by recipient alpha-gal IgE. Further studies are needed to establish whether transfusion-related alpha-gal syndrome ("TRAGS") is a true clinical entity."

"...one patient experienced anaphylaxis within one hour of eating. This atypically rapid reaction may be explained by the patient’s concurrent diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis."

"This work identifies Anisakis sp. as a potential contributor to α-Gal sensitization in humans and underscores the need for heightened awareness of parasitic infections as risk factors for atypical allergic phenotypes, particularly in endemic regions."

"...clinicians practicing in a-GAL endemic regions may wish to exercise increased vigilance and prepare for adverse drug reactions and anaphylaxis, especially when treating patients with a history of red meat allergy."

"In conclusion, our findings demonstrate a high rate of adverse drug reactions and presumed anaphylaxis to crotaline antivenoms in an area where a-GAL IgE sensitization is common."

"These data suggest that exposure to a-GAL antigen in the bloodstream (through intravenous injection) could cause anaphylaxis, even when oral exposure to red meat does not occur."

"Herein, we report several cases of allergic reactions linked to tsetse bites from the Diptera order, particularly the Glossinidae family, and explore the potential role of these species in sensitization to alpha-Gal."
