Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is one of the oldest oilseed plants of the Pedaliaceae family, widely cultivated worldwide. This allergen is important in the diagnosis of food allergy due to its prevalence and potential to cause severe allergic reactions.

Sesame allergy occurs in 0.1-0.8% of the population in various countries and is one of the most common childhood food allergies. It can cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory symptoms. There is a particularly high risk in patients allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. Sesame allergy is also associated with the development of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis. Early detection of sensitization is important to prevent severe complications and ensure proper treatment.
