Poppy is an annual herbaceous plant originating from Southeastern Europe and Western Asia. It is used in food, cosmetics, and medicine. Poppy seeds can cause allergic reactions due to the presence of specific allergenic components such as Pap s 17kD, Pap s 34kD, and Pap s Profilin. Determining the level of sensitization helps assess allergy risk, monitor treatment effectiveness, and identify cross-reactions with other allergens.

Poppy is a plant containing allergens capable of causing sensitization and allergic reactions. Poppy seeds, widely used in cooking, can be a hidden allergen. The presence of Bet v1 homologs and profilin indicates the possibility of cross-allergic reactions with other plants and food products. Detecting sensitization helps prevent complications and supports proper allergy treatment.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions to poppy.
  • Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
  • Monitoring therapy effectiveness.
  • Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
  • Assessment of immune system status.

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay, ImmunoCAP) – quantitative determination of sensitization.
