This oligosaccharide is not found in the group of primates in which humans are involved. It has been found that alpha-Gal plays a key role in delayed IgE-mediated red meat allergy and this allergen is triggered by tick bites. Here we present a 7-year-old boy with alpha-gal allergy from Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlpha- Gal AllergyChildDelayed Urticaria and AnaphylaxisMeat AllergyTick BiteArticle61461561710.24953/turkjped.2019.04.023Q4Q3
