Wheat-Dependent Cofactor-Augmented Anaphylaxis: A Prospective Study of Exercise, Aspirin, and Alcohol Efficacy as Cofactors

Abstract

Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergy caused by wheat ingestion and most commonly in combination with exercise.To investigate the role and impact of different cofactors (exercise, aspirin, and alcohol) in patients with WDEIA.We studied 25 adult patients with WDEIA. Diagnostic workup included specific IgE to omega-5 gliadin and skin prick test with wheat flour and gluten. Titrated oral challenge was performed with gluten at rest, combined with treadmill exercise, aspirin, alcohol, or a combination of exercise and aspirin.A positive challenge to gluten was found at rest (without cofactors) in 48% (12 of 25), with exercise in 92% (23 of 25), with aspirin in 84% (21 of 25), with alcohol in 56% (9 of 19), and with a combination of exercise and aspirin in 82% (18 of 22) of the patients. With exercise as a cofactor, the median threshold was 24 g (range, 4.8-80 g), with aspirin 8 g (range, 2.4-80 g), and with alcohol 28 g (range, 0-45 g). The combination of 2 cofactors (exercise and aspirin) resulted in a median threshold of 4.3 g (range, 1.1-48 g). The threshold for the clinical reaction was lowered by 63%, 83%, 36%, and 87%, respectively, compared with at rest. The mean severity grade (scale 0-5) according to the Sampson severity score at rest was 0.8 (range, 0-2), and when combined with exercise 2.1 (range, 0-5), with aspirin 1.9 (range, 0-5), with alcohol 0.8 (range, 0-2), and with the combination of exercise and aspirin 1.5 (range, 0-2).Our results demonstrate that exercise and aspirin augment clinical reactions in WDEIA by lowering the threshold and increase the severity of the allergic reaction, whereas alcohol gives ambiguous results. Furthermore, a combination of 2 cofactors (exercise and aspirin) increases the risk of reactions.
