Allergy Bermuda Grass Radio Immunoabsorbent Blood

Bermuda grass pollen is a very common source of pollinosis throughout the world and is a potent inducer of asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis. Sandstorm dust has been shown to contain Bermuda grass pollen, and appears to be a prolific source of potential triggers of allergic and nonallergic respiratory ailments. Specific IgE tests for Bermuda grass demonstrated that it was the most prevalent allergen among children with allergic rhinitis (42). A further study confirmed the high prevalence of Bermuda grass sensitisation and found that Bermuda grass pollen was also significantly associated with sinusitis. Tree pollen allergens were the most prevalent sensitising agents, followed in declining order by weed pollens, molds, environmentals, and grass pollen extracts.
