title: [Incidence of pollinosis in school-age children in urban and rural areas].
abstract: The authors examined in 1987 and 1988 in January to March a total of 1272 6-14-year-old school children from two primary schools for positivity of skin tests to pollen allergens. The group comprised 813 urban children and 459 children from rural areas. A significant difference between the incidence of pollen allergy in urban and rural children was found. In town 11.8% school children suffered from pollinosis, incl. 29% from the latent form; in the rural area 4.8% school children suffered from pollinosis incl. 45.4% from the latent form. The authors compare various factors in children with pollinosis and in children without pollen allergy (atopy in the family, education of parents, breastfeeding, attendance of preschool facilities, i.e. nurseries, kindergartens, other atopic diseases, school progress, leisure time activities, etc.).
