BACKGROUND
Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is believed to be a valuable remedy in several allergic diseases; however, an accurate immunological marker of the efficacy of this treatment method has not been found yet. Cc-chemokine eotaxin, owing to its selective action on eosinophils, seems to
OBJECTIVE
To investigate which aeroallergens were prevalent in patients with allergic rhinitis in Yunnan.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of the medical records of intradermal test performed in 1893 AR patients. The samples were divided into four age groups: 4-17-year-olds, > 17-35-year-olds, >

Two commercially available extracts of alder and birch pollen usually used in clinical allergy were evaluated and correlated to two corresponding reference extracts 'S' produced at the authors' laboratory. The set of extracts produced by ALK, Denmark are referred to as 'A', while those produced by
BACKGROUND

OBJECTIVE
To determine the atmospheric fluctuations and prevalence of patients
BACKGROUND
Fagales pollens are considered among the main agents responsible for allergic diseases in many countries of the northern hemisphere and single major allergens have been shown to be responsible for these responses.
OBJECTIVE
To develop a solid phase immunoassay for the quantification of
The changes in the main features of early spring tree or shrub pollen seasons are important due to the significant impact on the occurrence of pollen-related allergy symptoms. This study shows the results of pollen monitoring for a period of eleven years (2003-2013) using a Burkard volumetric spore
