Riassunto Sono state rilevate durante un monitoraggio aerobiologico effettuato a Pietra Ligure (Savona) nel corso del 1987 le concentrazioni polliniche di 50 taxa ed è stata valutata l'influenza relativa dei fattori meteorologici. Le osservazioni palinologiche sono state rapportate alle concentrazioni sieriche delle IgE specifiche, alla reattività bronchiale specifica ed aspecifica valutate in 101 pazienti allergici (rinitici ed asmatici), sensibilizzati a Graminaceae ed Urticaceae (Parietaria) al fine di riconoscere correlazioni tra le caratteristiche aerobiologiche di questi allergeni edi meccanismi patogenetici che sostengono la reattività bronchiale.
Notes:
Summary Airborne pollen grains in Pietra Ligure (Savona, Italy) related to immunological and bronchoreactive characters in atopic subjects. The pollen concentration of 50 taxa and the influence of the meteorological parameters was observed by means of an aerobiological monitoring carried out in Pietra Ligure (Savona, Italy) from January to December 1987. The study includes a survey of atmospheric pollen types of main clinical significance, i.e. Oleaceae, Urticaceae (Pellitory), Graminaceae and Compositae. For these families the variations of pollen counts are presented taking into account both daily means and five-day running means. The palynological observations have been related with the serum specific IgE concentrations, with specific and non specific bronchial reactivity measured in 101 rhinitic and asthmatic patients sensitized to Graminaceae and Urticaceae (Pellitory) in order to recognize the correlation between the aerobiological features of these allergens and the pathogenetic mechanism producing the bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
