چکیده
Material and Methods The clinical history and the positive SPT with the birch extract were the condition for qualifications. 23 patients included in the first group were only birch allergic. 35 patients in the other group had birch pollen allergy and they reported symptoms after eating apple, celery, carrot, tomato, banana, peach, peanut and hazelnut. The skin tests were performed and serum IgE concentration (total and specific) were determined for all individuals. The immunoblotting was performed for the patients with the positive value of birch, apple, celery and/or carrot specific IgE.
