Abstract
The rate of symptom development upon ragweed exposure was related to concomitant hypersensitivity to perennial allergens and grass pollen as determined by SPT and clinical history. The RQLQ was a powerful predictor of the priming response to ragweed, showing a dose-response-type association. These data suggest that a “prepriming” phenomenon is present in patients with SAR. No correlation was shown between symptomatic responses and degree of SPT reactivity.
