Allergy to soybean is rare, whereas the latest data from the allergovigilence network show that soybeans are one of the principal emerging allergens. The clinical manifestations are essentially IgE mediated, with a risk of severe anaphylaxis mainly in patients allergic to peanut or to birch pollen; association with allergy to cow's milk proteins appears to be less frequent. One special feature of soybean allergy is that the threshold for triggering symptoms is often elevated. Characterization of the major allergens and the recent availability of specific IgE assays for nGly m 5, nGly m6 and nGly m 4 provide a better basis for understanding soybean-induced anaphylaxis.
