it is an allergic reaction that occurs seasonally in subjects hypersensitive to pollen from specific families of herbs, flowers and trees. Among the different Italian areas there are significant differences in sensitization to various pollens: the presence of allergenic granules is influenced by the climate and the spread of vegetation in the territory.

Anemophilic (airborne) pollens represent the main allergens of the disease: they are widely spread in the environment and, due to their small size, can be inhaled and penetrate the respiratory tract, giving rise to the typical clinical manifestations of the disease.

The pollen grains are released into the atmosphere with specific characteristics for each single plant.

, especially against early or pre-spring flowering trees (Cupressaceae, Betulaceae, Corylacee);

The appearance of new pollen grains spread by exotic plants, introduced on our territory for ornamental or reforestation purposes;

The onset of further allergic forms caused by the pollen of plants whose seeds have been introduced in some Italian regions, as pollutants of agricultural seeds imported from other continents (eg. Ambrosia).

The creation of pollen calendars makes it possible to identify the following seasons:

Winter / pre-spring.
In the first months of the year, the pollens of some arboreal plants appear: Betulaceae (Alder), Corylaceae (Core) e Cupressaceae. Subsequently, pollen from the Oleaceae (Ash) and of Salicaceae (Poplar and Willow). Platano pollen is observed between March and April.
Spring.
In addition to the pollen of numerous tree plants Betulaceae (Birch), Corylaceae (Hornbeam), Fagaceae (oak and beech), Oleaceae (Ash and Olive), Cypress, Platano and Pine, pollen from herbaceous plants such as Urticaceae and the Graminaceae. Poplar and Willow pollen disappear.
Summer season.
Characterized above all by the presence of pollen from herbaceous plants such as Urticaceae And Compositae (Ambrosia and Artemisia). The pollens of tree plants detected are those of Chestnut and Pine.

During clinical monitoring it allows the evaluation of changes in clinical signs, pathophysiological and immunological parameters.

Finally, during the pollen season, it directs towards the correct pharmacological therapy and provides indications for setting the immunotherapy suitable for the specific allergy.
