BACKGROUND
Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disease with negative impacts on patients' quality of life. The prevalence and pattern of sensitisation vary between different countries and populations. Identification of the most prevalent aeroallergens in each area has a very important role
OBJECTIVE
Allergic rhinitis is the most frequent disease mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). Nasal challenge is the gold standard for the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. Skin tests (ST) are the most used diagnostic method to detect the presence of specific IgE bind to skin mast cells. The exposition
Cross-reactivity between pollen extracts of four species of Oleaceae was studied: olive (Olea europaea), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), privet (Ligustrum vulgare), and lilac (Syringa vulgaris). Thus, 51 patients and 13 atopic controls were studied, by means of intracutaneous skin tests, histamine-release
A population skin-tested with pollen from twelve wind pollinated tree species showed a variable level of allergenicity, particularly among adults. Pollen extracts of Box Elder, Willow and Hickory elicited the highest allergic reactions, Oak, Birch, Sycamore, Black Walnut and Poplar more moderate
Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the climatic changes on spring phenology impacting on the consultation rate of patients with allergic rhinitis.Method:We analyzed the periods of full flowering stages of 15 kinds of flowers in Beijing from 2013 to 2014,and the number of patients with
BACKGROUND
The prevalence of atopic diseases has increased in recent decades dramatically. The most common aeroallergens in Northeastern Iran have not been fully defined. Determining the most common aeroallergens in allergic patients based on the skin prick test (SPT) was aimed in this
Contact allergy to tropical hardwoods and domestic woods are well documented in the literature. The authors document a case of contact allergy to both types of wood in a woodworking artisan.
BACKGROUND
Fra e 1 is a major allergen for ash pollen-sensitized individuals in northern and central Europe. It belongs to the Ole e 1-like family and displays high cross-reactivity with taxonomically related members.
OBJECTIVE
To isolate and characterize natural Fra e 1 (nFra e 1) from ash pollen
BACKGROUND
Ash, a wind-pollinated tree belonging to the family Oleaceae, is distributed world-wide and has been suggested as a potent allergen source in spring time.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the profile of allergen components in ash pollen in order to refine diagnosis and
BACKGROUND
Castanea sativa pollen allergy has generally been considered to be uncommon and clinically insignificant. In our geographical area (Plasencia, Cáceres, Spain) Castanea sativa pollen is a major pollen.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the atmospheric fluctuations and prevalence of patients
In a clinical investigation, 103 Michigan residents with symptoms suggestive of allergic rhinitis or asthma were skin tested with olive (Olea europaea) pollen extract. Nineteen had positive reactions. Since the olive tree is not native to nor grown in Michigan, this study was undertaken to determine
BACKGROUND
Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) is the main representative of the Oleaceae family in temperate zones. Diagnosis of ash pollen allergy is made difficult due to (1) an overlapping pollinization period with Betulaceae, (2) non-inclusion in current diagnostic assays, and (3) some cross-
BACKGROUND
The allergic response in susceptible patients does not always coincide with the presence and magnitude of airborne pollen counts. The prevalence of allergy to Platanus is currently moderate, although the percentage of monosensitized patients is low. This hinders accurate interpretation of
Pollen grains are one of the most important groups of atmospheric biological particles that originate allergic processes. Knowledge of intradiurnal variation of the atmospheric pollen may be useful for the treatment and prevention of pollen allergies. Intradiurnal fluctuation of hourly pollen counts
The concentration of pollen grains in the atmosphere over the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, was analyzed throughout a year from March 2003-February 2004, focused on the genus Carya, Celtis, Cupressus, Fraxinus and Pinus owing to their interest as etiological pollinosis agents
