Altough Ambrosia artemisiifolia is considered a non relevant allergenic pollen in Italy, since it's not indigenous to the country, we found that 37% of our atopic patients are indeed sensitized to this aeroallergen. This could be due either to cross-reactivity with other plants of the Compositae family or to a primary sensitization to A. artemisiifolia pollen, brought to Italy by winds from Eastern European countries.

Abstract
Altough Ambrosia artemisiifolia is considered a non relevant allergenic pollen in Italy, since it's not indigenous to the country, we found that 37% of our atopic patients are indeed sensitized to this aeroallergen. This could be due either to cross-reactivity with other plants of the Compositae family or to a primary sensitization to A. artemisiifolia pollen, brought to Italy by winds from Eastern European countries.File in questo prodotto:
