Özet
Background: Although Gramineae pollens are the main reason for seasonal allergy in many parts of Europe, the influence of regional flora on sensitisation and symptoms has always been a topic of interest. The aim of this study was to document the sensitisation to pollens and to evaluate their clinical importance in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis living in Ankara/central Anatolia.
