Allergic Reaction to Bahia Grass

摘要

fter mowing the lawn for the first time, a 12-year-old boy had severe pruritus all over his body, watery and puffy eyes, and a husky voice. His mother rushed him to the closest acute care facility, where he received an oral corticosteroid and antihistamine. He reported no shortness of breath or abdominal pain. During the history taking, it was learned that the child had undergone allergy testing a few years earlier. The results had revealed a positive reaction to grass, especially Bahia.
