paspalum fasciculatum/asthma

The objective of this study was to determine whether sensitization to certain aeroallergens is associated with acute asthma in Cartagena, Colombia. Ninety-nine subjects with acute asthma and 100 controls evaluated for other reasons were studied at a local emergency room. Sensitization was

BACKGROUND Grass pollens are major triggers of allergic rhinitis and asthma, but the immunological relationships between pollen allergens of the subtropical Bahia grass, Paspalum notatum, and temperate grasses are unresolved. OBJECTIVE To assess serum IgE cross-reactivity between subtropical P.

Bahia grass, Paspalum notatum, is an important pollen allergen source with a long season of pollination and wide distribution in subtropical and temperate regions. We aimed to characterize the 55 kDa allergen of Bahia grass pollen (BaGP) and ascertain its clinical importance. BaGP extract was

Grass pollens are amongst the most important aeroallergen sources world-wide triggering allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma in sensitised patients. Much of what we know about the allergen components of grasses is informed by research on pollen of temperate (Pooideae) species that are abundant in
