Evaluation of the frequency and severity of seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis caused by grass pollen in children with hazelnut sensitization

چکیده
Background The high frequency of pollen sensitization has been reported among peanut and tree nuts sensitized patients in our previous study. The antigen homology of peanut and tree nuts antigens with betula was previously shown. However there is a lack of knowledge about the cross-reactivity between hazelnut and grass pollen antigens. The aim of this study is to find out if there is a difference in the frequency and the severity of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC) in grass pollen sensitized children when hazelnut sensitization is coupled.

STUDY POPULATION. Subjects were 278 children (age: 5–14 years) with seasonal grass pollen-induced allergic rhinoconjunctivitis for 2 years. Allergy was confirmed by a timothy grass-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) level of at least class 2 and a wheal diameter of 3 mm in a skin-prick test containing 5 grass pollens included in the SLIT tablet (orchard, meadow, perennial rye, sweet vernal, and ti...
متن کاملSensitization to timothy grass pollen allergenic molecules in children
BACKGROUND Grass pollens are significant elicitors of IgE-mediated allergic disease in the world and timothy (Phleum pratense) is one of the most important pollens of the family. Molecular and biochemical characterization of Phleum pratense has revealed several allergen components: rPhl p 1 and rPhl p 5 have been shown to be "Species Specific Allergens", while the profilin rPhl p 12 and the cal...
