Description
Summary:With climate change, the distribution of allergens during different seasons has become very heterogeneous. [...]the identification of specific allergens prevalent during different seasons and in various population subsets would be useful for formulating strategies that would help to prevent and treat respiratory allergic diseases, including allergic asthma and AR. [3] A total of nine types of common inhaled allergens in the region were tested, including dermatophagoides farinae (d1), dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (d2), tree pollen mix (tx5 include alnus incana, corylus avellana, ulmus Americana, salix caprea, and populus deltoides), molds and yeasts mix (mx2 include penicillium chrysogenum, cladosporium herbarum, aspergillus fumigatus, candida albicans, alter- naria alternata, and setomelanomma rostrata), weed pollen mix (wx5 include ambrosia artemisiifolia, artemisia vulgaris, chrysanthemum leucanthemum, taraxacum vulgare, and solidago virgaurea), wormwood (w6), Artemisia vulgaris (m3), cat, and dog. [...]the rates of sensitization to wx5 in the allergic asthma with AR group were significantly higher when compared to those in the allergic asthma without AR group during the winter (P = 0.026) [Table 1].Table 1 Distribution characteristics of inhaled allergens in allergic asthma patients visiting hospital in different seasons from allergic asthma with AR group and allergic asthma alone group. [...]we should strengthen the management of patients with allergic asthma who visited the hospital in the summer and in the fall.
