Artemisia species pollen represents a major cause of allergy in Central Europe. Variations in the pollen season, the influence of climate variables and the prevalence of pollinosis to it were analyzed in Poznan, in western Poland between 1995 and 2004.
A Hirst volumetric spore trap was used for atmospheric sampling. Pollination date trend analysis and Spearman correlation tests were performed. Skin prick tests (SPT) and allergen specific immunoglobulin (lg)E antibody measurements were performed in 676 and 524 patients, respectively.
The Artemisia species pollen season grew longer due to a clear advance in the starting day and only a slightly earlier end point; the peak day also came slightly earlier. Rainfall in the first fortnight of July highly influenced pollen season severity. Temperature was directly correlated with daily Artemisia species pollen levels; relative humidity was inversely correlated. Twelve percent of patients had a positive SPT reaction to Artemisia species. Their symptoms were rhinitis and conjunctivitis (15%), atopic dermatitis (15%), chronic urticaria (14.3%), bronchial asthma (2.4%), and facial and disseminated dermatitis (1.3%). Elevated specific IgE concentrations were detected in the sera of 10.1% of patients.
Artemisia species pollen is an important cause of pollinosis in western Poland. Pollen season intensity is highly influenced by rainfall in the previous weeks. Trends towards earlier season starts and longer duration, possibly caused by climate change, may have an impact on the allergic population.
蒿属花粉是中欧地区过敏的主要诱因。对1995年至2004年期间波兰西部波兹南的蒿属花粉季节变化、气候变量的影响以及花粉症的患病率进行了分析。
使用赫斯特体积孢子捕捉器进行大气采样。进行了授粉日期趋势分析和斯皮尔曼相关性检验。分别对676名和524名患者进行了皮肤点刺试验（SPT）和过敏原特异性免疫球蛋白（Ig）E抗体检测。
蒿属花粉季节因开始日期明显提前且结束日期仅略早而变长；高峰日也略早出现。7月的前两周降雨对花粉季节的严重程度影响很大。温度与每日蒿属花粉水平直接相关；相对湿度与之呈负相关。12%的患者对蒿属花粉的皮肤点刺试验呈阳性反应。他们的症状有鼻炎和结膜炎（15%）、特应性皮炎（15%）、慢性荨麻疹（14.3%）、支气管哮喘（2.4%）以及面部和播散性皮炎（1.3%）。10.1%的患者血清中检测到特异性IgE浓度升高。
蒿属花粉是波兰西部花粉症的重要病因。花粉季节强度受前几周降雨的高度影响。季节开始提前和持续时间延长的趋势可能由气候变化导致，这可能会对过敏人群产生影响。
