Описание
Statistical assessment suggests enrollment of 20 patients into the treatment group (defined above) and an additional 20 into the control group. Patients will be matched for the level of symptomology (based on symptom score surveys) and residing/working on corn-crop farms. The premise for this study is the cross-reactivity of putative immunogenic sites between timothy grass pollen and corn pollen. based on consensus genetic sequences. Thus, the hypothesis is the use of Timothy grass extract containing immunotherapy would diminish symptomology to corn-based occupational rhinitis. Enrolled patients will have signed IRB approved consent forms and have undergone SCIT for 1 to 2 plus years (treatment group) or not undergone SCIT therapy for the same time period (control group). Potential contribution to symptom scores from other sources (e.g. Ragweed) will be analyzed by assessment of local pollen counts.Efficacy assessment will compare prospective symptom score results and retrospective quality of life survey scores between the treatment and control group responses.

Experimental: Treatment Group the treatment -patients underwent SCIT and antihistamine/nasal steroid/use. | Biological: Treatment Group 20 patients who (prior to study enrollment and initiation) completed more than 1 year of timothy grass SCIT vs. 20 control patients who underwent corn pollen exposure for for greater than one year during the same prestudy time interval. Efficacy will be assessed by analyses of symptom score surveys and quality of life surveys. |
No Intervention: Control Group Control patient group only used antihistamines/nasal steroids but no SCIT |
