Background: Pollen-related respiratory allergy is well known. Allergy to profilin Phl p 12 was described in patients sensitized to timothy grass pollen. Phl p 12 is a highly cross-reactive allergen. Cross-reactivity in allergies occurs when the immune system mistakes proteins in certain inhalants or food for similar proteins in allergens like polle...

Background Skin prick test (SPT) is a gold standard test for diagnosis of allergic [immunoglobulin E (IgE)] diseases. There is a subset of patients who have positive nasal provocation to allergens, despite having a negative SPT. The aim of our study was to evaluate SPT sensitivity in atopic patients with allergic nasal polyposis. We chose 56 patie...
