AB Melon (Cucumis melo) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family and is one of the most frequently involved fruits in allergic reactions. Oral allergy syndrome after ingestion of pulp is the main manifestation; systemic reactions are rare. 1 Several allergens have been identified in pulp, as follows: cucumisin (Cuc m 1), 2 profilin (Cuc m 2), 3 pathogenesis-related protein (PR) of the PR-1 family (Cuc m 3), 4 malate dehydrogenase, 5 and phloem lectin (Lec 17-1). We report a patient with allergic symptoms after ingestion of melon pulp and after contact with melon peel.
