Abstract
Multiple pollen sensitization is frequently encountered in patients who present with seasonal allergic respiratory symptoms. This regularly leads the allergist to question the significance of skin and laboratory test results because such results make it difficult to differentiate between cross-reactions and co-sensitization. Assays for specific IgE with recombinant panallergens, such as those in the profilin or polcalcin families, the results of which are now available in clinical practice, may lead to a better interpretation of such cases.
