Prick tests with commercial extracts of Q. ilex proved positive in 27 patients; none were monosonsitive. Nasal and conjunctival provocation tests and specific IgE (RAST) performed with Q. ilex extracts in these patients were negative in all hut one patient, who exhibited specific IgE: liter by RAST) of 7 PRU ml (class 3). We conclude that Q. ilex pollen, though obtained in considerable quantities by our collector, docs not cause allergies in our area.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
