Clinical Characteristics of Patients Sensitized to Siberian Hamster. J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2016;26(2):113-5. doi: 10.18176/jiaci.0022. PMID: 27164628.1018-906810.18176/jiaci.0022https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/107165The 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 patients sensitized to SH.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps//doi.org/10.18176/jiaci.0022https://www.jiaci.org/summary/vol26-issue2-num1324open access616-056.3Siberian HamsterRodent allergyPet allergyMedicinaAlergología32 Ciencias Médicas3207 Patología3207.01 Alergias
