The French aerobiological monitoring network: two years of clinical experience (1986–1987)

Summary

Two years of clinical experience on allergic patients strictly related to tree and grass pollen counts have been reported. In order to carry out investigations, the Institut Pasteur in Paris utilized a questionnaire on which symptoms and drug scores have been daily reported. Together with the pollen concentration, temperature variations and rainfalls have been checked. These investigations pointed out a great variability of the factors taken into account; thus, the way of forecasting allergic symptons seems difficult to find.
