The pandemic COVID-19 abruptly exploded, taking most health professionals around the world unprepared. Italy, the first European country to be hit violently, was forced to activate the lockdown in mid-February 2020. At the time of the spread, a high number of victims were quickly registered, especially in the regions of Northern Italy which have a high rate of highly-polluting production activities. The need to hospitalize the large number of patients with severe forms of COVID-19 led the National Health System to move a large number of specialists from their disciplines to the emergency hospital departments for the treatment of COVID-19. Furthermore, the lockdown itself has limited the possibility for general practitioners and pediatricians to be able to make outpatient visits and/or home care for patients with chronic diseases. Among them, the patient with atopic diseases, such as asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, is worthy of particular attention as she/he is immersed in a studded negative scenario with the onset of spring, a factor that should not be underestimated for those who suffer from pollen allergy. The Italian Society of Asthma Allergology and Clinical Immunology, to quickly deal with the lack of references and specialist medical procedures, has produced a series of indications for immunologic patient care that are reported in this paper, and can be used as guidelines by specialists of our discipline.
新冠疫情突然爆发，让全球大多数医疗专业人员措手不及。意大利是首个遭受重创的欧洲国家，于2020年2月中旬被迫实施封锁。在疫情传播期间，迅速登记了大量受害者，尤其是在意大利北部地区，那里高污染生产活动的比例很高。大量新冠重症患者需要住院治疗，这使得国家卫生系统将大量专科医生从各自的专业领域调至急诊科室来治疗新冠患者。此外，封锁本身限制了全科医生和儿科医生对慢性病患者进行门诊和/或上门护理的可能性。其中，患有特应性疾病（如哮喘、鼻炎和特应性皮炎）的患者值得特别关注，因为随着春天的到来，他们置身于一连串不利的情况中，对于花粉过敏患者而言，这一因素不容小觑。意大利哮喘过敏与临床免疫学会为迅速应对参考资料和专业医疗程序的匮乏，制定了一系列免疫患者护理指南，本文予以报道，可供本学科专家用作指导方针。
