[A comparative study of causative factors of ocular involvement in pollinosis in 2 geographic zones].
A total of 370 patients suffering from pollen allergies were examined at the allergologic department of the Moscow Helmholtz Research Institute for Ophthalmic Diseases and 140 ones at the ophthalmic department of the Tashkent Medical Institute. The causes of pollenosis involvement of the eyes in two geographical zones are compared. Ocular pollinosis are quite prevalent in both regions; many patients develop polyvalent sensitization to 7-10 (64 percent of patients) and more (62.4 percent) allergens. A high sensitization to plant pollen (10(-2) is characteristic of patients in Uzbekistan, this necessitating a more intricate scheme of drug threshold sensitivity titration. Eye involvement here is characterized by a long exacerbation period (up to 10 months) and a more grave clinical course.
