Relationship between meteorological variability and pollen sensitization over the past 10 years

Abstract

Introduction Allergic diseases are hypersensitivity disorders of the immune system induced by an allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated response. Aero-allergens play a significant role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases over time highlights the importance of environmental factors.1 The atmospheric content of aero-allergens varies across different regions, depending on climate type, geography, and vegetation. Pollen, molds, house dust mites, and pets are the most common aero-allergens.2
