In the Mediterranean area there are characteristic climatic conditions (mildness of winter, summer dryness, etc.) that facilitate the growing of a typical vegetation with production of allergenic pollen, such as those from Parietaria and Olea europaea, very different from that of central and northern Europe. We present in this article the results of an 8-year pollen count in the atmosphere of Naples, Italy. The pollen content was examined with a volumetric spore trap (Lanzoni VPPS-2000) like that of Hirst. The results of the pollen counts were subsequently compared with results of skin tests of patients born and still living in and around Naples to determine the pollinosis of that area. We found that the most important allergenic pollen in the Naples area is Parietaria, with very long-lasting periods of pollination. The first period, more important, occurring from March to July, and the second period of much lower intensity, occurring from the end of August to the end of October. Pollen allergy to Parietaria was found to be present in 82.02% of pollen-allergic patients. It was followed by Gramineae (32.12%), Olea (23.11%), and Artemisia vulgaris (17.08%). These data are quite different from data of the pollinosis in northern Italy and in the northern Mediterranean area, as well as the southern coast of France, where allergic sensitization to Poaceae is the most important.
在地中海地区，存在一些典型的气候条件（冬季温和、夏季干燥等），这些条件有利于一种典型植被的生长，这种植被会产生致敏花粉，比如墙草属植物和油橄榄的花粉，这与中欧和北欧的植被大不相同。在本文中，我们展示了意大利那不勒斯大气中8年花粉计数的结果。花粉含量是用一种与赫斯特所用类似的容积式孢子捕捉器（兰佐尼VPPS - 2000）来检测的。随后，将花粉计数结果与出生并仍生活在那不勒斯及其周边地区的患者的皮肤测试结果进行比较，以确定该地区的花粉症情况。我们发现，那不勒斯地区最重要的致敏花粉是墙草属植物，其授粉期非常长。第一个时期更为重要，从3月持续到7月，第二个时期强度低得多，从8月底持续到10月底。在花粉过敏患者中，对墙草属植物花粉过敏的占82.02%。其次是禾本科（32.12%）、油橄榄（23.11%）和普通蒿（17.08%）。这些数据与意大利北部、地中海北部地区以及法国南部海岸的花粉症数据有很大不同，在那些地区，对禾本科植物的过敏致敏是最重要的。
