AB The Siberian, Russian, or Dzungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus) has gained great popularity with its introduction as a pet [1], probably because it is more sociable and smaller than other hamsters. The Siberian hamster (SH) has a similar appearance to common hamsters such as the European hamster (Cricetus cricetus) and the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), although it belongs to a different genus. The fact that its main allergen shows no IgE cross-reactivity with allergens from European or golden hamsters [2] hampers diagnosis, because there is currently no standardized commercial extract available for SH. Clinical data on allergy to SH are relatively scarce [3-5]. We describe the clinical characteristics of patientssensitized to SH.
