Main > Specialty Areas > Immunology > Allergies Pseudo-allergies Pseudo-allergic-reactions (PAR) usually exhibit the same symptoms as regular allergies, but unlike allergies are not caused by any allergens. For example: A pseudo-allergy may be caused by an excess of histamine in the body – that usually happens after consumption of histamine-rich foods, such as some brands of cheeses or salami, taking some medications, or during certain liver and gastrointestinal diseases. Sometimes a pseudo-allergy may be caused by an immune system dysfunction. The most common example is the occurrence of allergic symptoms during stress. Metabolism-related conditions may also cause pseudo-allergic symptoms. Example: intolerance to aspirin. Sometimes a combination of a pseudo-allergic-reaction with a real allergy results in a condition such as asthma and aspirin sensitivity. It occurs in 3-5% of all asthma sufferers, whose asthma gets worse if they take aspirin or any other analgesics. ‹‹ Symptoms of Allergies Diagnosing Allergies ››
