The Journal of Asthma Research

Abstract

An attempt has been made in the present study to find out the relationship between the symptomatology of nasobronchial allergy patients of Delhi with markedly positive skin reactions and prevalence of total pollen concentration in the atmosphere, concentration of major individual pollen types, total fungal spores and house dust mites together with climatic factors such as mean monthly temperature and relative humidity. A statistically significant correlation was not found between symptomatology of the patients of Delhi and mean monthly relatively humidity, atmospheric concentration of pollen, fungal spores and house dust mites. A significant negative correlation was observed between symptomatology of patients and mean monthly temperature. Except for the pollen of prospis which showed significant positive correlation with the symptomatology of Delhi patients, a significant positive correlation was absent with respect to other individual pollen types.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
