Platanus pollen as an important cause of pollinosis

Abstract

The existence of Platanus pollinosis is not generally accepted despite the production of very large quantities of airborne Platanus pollen in many cities of the United States and Europe. The aim of this study was to investigate if Platanus pollen really contributes to the symptoms of the patients with pollinosis in the Madrid area. We carried out systematic skin prick testing with Platanus pollen extract on 47 patients seen in our allergy center with spring-summer pollinosis symptoms. Each patient maintained symptom score diaries before, during, and after the Platanus pollination season. The average symptom scores were calculated and compared with the Platanus pollen counts. Measurements of specific IgE by ELISA and immunoblotting also were performed in each patient. The Platanus skin tests were positive in 33 of the 39 patients first seen with seasonal symptoms during Platanus pollen season and only in three of the eight patients without symptoms during Platanus exposure (Fisher's exact test; p < 0.05). Twenty-two of the 33 Platanus-positive skin test patients also had a positive ELISA result. Furthermore, the average 24-hour rhinitis symptom scores of the 39 patients first seen with seasonal symptoms during March through Apri...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis 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.
