Anaphylaxis related to avocado ingestion: a case and review

Anaphylaxis to avocado, independent of latex sensitization, has been rarely reported in the literature. This case report describes a 15 year old male who experienced anaphylaxis within half an hour after eating avocado-containing food. Avocado consumption is common in both North America and South America. It is important to consider avocado as a cause of anaphylaxis, even in patients not sensitized to latex

Observation of ozone concentration during the solar eclipse

Abstract We report the results of measurements of ozone concentrations during the solar eclipse of 11 Ž . August 1999. The experiment was performed in Warsaw Poland and its surroundings. The temporal evolution of ozone concentration was measured using the differential absorption lidar Ž . DIAL and it was compared with results obtained by several monitoring stations measuring with other methods. In almost all cases, a drop in the ozone concentration was observed during the eclipse. Experimental data was compared with calculations done using a simple model based on NO -O chemical kinetics. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
