Characterization of Patients with Allergic Rhinitis to Ragweed Pollen in Two Distinct Regions of Romania.

Conclusions: Allergic rhinitis to ragweed pollen has been more frequently reported in the NW part of Romania. Patients with severe forms of rhinitis were observed in the central part, while in the NW the severe forms of disease were reported by patients with monosensitization. Ragweed pollen is intensely allergogenic and determines association of ocular and asthma symptoms. Co-sensitization increases the risk of asthma association. PMID: 31653048 [PubMed - in process]
