Characteristics of sensibilization in patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis

Frequency of visits of patients with pollinosis to the allergologist of the 6th City Clinical Hospital in Minsk showed that 49 % have sensitization to tree pollen, 66 % to grass pollen, 14 % to weed pollen. 29 % of patients have polysensitization to several groups of pollen allergens. An important part of the research on pollen allergens is to study new pollen allergens for the Republic of Belarus: canadian goldenrod, pellitory, thuja occidentalis, common juniper, ash-leaf maple, mountain pine, evergreen cypress. Four pollen seasons were identified in the pollen spectrum: spring (woody plants), spring-summer (pine, juniper, thuja, cypress), summer (cereals), autumn-summer (weeds). A Belarussian pollen calendar in 2024 allows us to predict the frequency of exacerbations of hay fever, depending on the pollen concentration in the air.
