Clinical and Molecular Profiles in Patients Allergic to Amaranthaceae

Recent studies have revealed a mismatch between the air pollen concentration and clinical symptoms among patients monosensitized to Amaranthaceae pollen. The long symptomatic period affecting most patients can be explained by the duration of the flowering period for Amaranthaceae species (May to October). This botanical family is more likely to adapt to climate change than others. Therefore, a better understanding of its behavior is increasingly interesting owing to a probable growth in the number of sensitizations and allergic respiratory symptoms in the near future. The aims of our study were to establish the clinical profiles of patients with relevant symptoms to Amaranthaceae pollen and to correlate them with their molecular sensitization profiles.
