[Results of skin tests, based on pollen count, in patients allergic to summertime seasonal rhinitis].

: Atmospheric pollen and spore contents in Szeged were determined with Lanzoni Sampler from July to October in 1989. Late-summer pollen calendar for Szeged was produced on the basis of this pollen counting. Skin prick tests in 69 patients with late-summer seasonal allergic rhinitis were carried out on the basis of this pollen calendar. All patients were found to be sensitive to Ambrosia. 83% of the patients were sensitized to Artemisia too. 93% of the patients were found to be polysensitive. 33% of the patients were found to be sensitive to Alternaria. The continuous atmospheric pollen and spore counting are of importance for the diagnosis and therapy of late-summer seasonal allergic rhinitis.
