In electron micrographs it could be shown that hazelnut (Corylus avellana) pollen grains are covered on their surface by a diffusible 10 nm thick lamellar layer. On pollen surface as well as in pollen extract this layer could be precipitated and stained by the polycationic dye Cuprolinic blue. By
In a study of the efficacy of two different treatment schedules for perennial immunotherapy, 47 adult patients with spring-time hay fever due to allergy against birch and other deciduous trees were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: one group received birch, alder and hazel allergen in
Pollinosis or hay fever is the most common allergic disease in Switzerland and also in the patients of the Allergy Unit of the Dermatologic Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital of Zurich. Clinical and epidemiological research concerning pollinosis has therefore always taken an
A 62-year old farmer woman from the northeastern, very rainy part of Turkey has been collecting large amounts of green and brown involucral hazel-nut leaves for subsequent use as fuel. For the last 20 years she had been complaining of cough, respiratory distress and intermittent fever. In the course
80 patients sera were investigated by means of radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Specific IgE antibodies against ten various tree pollens were determined. There is a significant correlation between RAST and ELISA results. It was found that birch, beech,
A middle-aged man presented 1 day after being discharged from hospital with completing the first course of postoperative chemotherapy. He suffered a sudden persistent high fever and chills. It was noted that he had a history of a total gastrectomy (with D2 lymphadenectomy) 1 month ago. His admission
Allergenic cross-reactivity between members of the Fagales family (birch, alder, hazel, and beech) and between members of the Oleaceae family (ash, olive, lilac, and privet) is well known, but little is known about possible cross-reactivity between these two groups of trees, in particular between
Case histories are analyzed of 1565 hay fever patients first attending an allergy unit. The mean age of the test persons was 19.5 years. 40% were in the age group 5 to 15 years. The sex distribution showed a slight but statistically significant prevalence of males (56.6%). 56.8% had a positive
This study compared a rapid home-based up-dosing schedule for sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) drops containing tree pollen allergens with two previously established schedules. Furthermore, the clinical effect of the SLIT was investigated with respect to patients' first pollen season The atopic symptoms manifest themselves mainly in hay fever or bronchial asthma. In a not inconsiderable number of cases, the question of oral complaints, connected with the intake of certain foodstuffs, is ignored in the medical anamnesis. Here, we are dealing with what is known as food-associated
Allergenic pollen is produced by the flowers of a number of trees, grasses and weeds found throughout the UK. Exposure to such pollen grains can exacerbate pollen-related asthma and allergenic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Maps showing the location of these allergenic taxa have
