[Respiratory allergies in the Flegrean region].

Abstract

The Authors value 407 consecutive outpatients, with rhinitis, conjunctivitis and asthma, coming from Flegrean area. In the patients with prick test positivity for pollen or inhalants the results were compared with clinical symptomatology. The data obtained, confirm the importance of inhalants persistent in asthma, and the rilevance of seasonal pollens in rhinoconjunctivitis and episodic asthma. In this homogeneous population, never the olea positivity was demonstrated as a single, whereas ambrosia (ragweed) was founded.
