摘要:
Pollen/fungal spore counts have been performed since 1977 in Copenhagen and since 1979 in Copenhagen, Viborg, Nykobing Falster and Nykobing Mors. Four Burkard Seven Day Recording Volumetric Spore Traps were used. Fungal spore counts were performed in the same period using a BIAP Slit Sampler (placed in the Copenhagen area). The study was carried out by the Danish Asthma-Allergy Association's interdisciplinary Aerobiology Group. In 1979 at the Allergy Clinic, Copenhagen County Hospital at Lyngby, data from the pollen/fungal spore counts were compared with daily scores of 95 patients' symptoms and medicine-index. Seventy-eight patients were scored in the entire period where symptoms occurred. For diagnostic purposes of allergy to pollen and fungal spores, previous patient history and symptom scores correlated to the pollen/fungal spore counts showed similarity and to some extent supplementary corrections to the diagnosis based on previous patient history, skin tests, laboratory tests, and provocation tests.
