title: [Home plants and allergies].
abstract: Allergic manifestations due to outdoor plants are relatively well known, contrary to those related to home plants. This review presents the various allergens linked to home plants that may be responsible for several allergic manifestations affecting the skin, the lungs, the eyes, and the rhinopharynx. The ficus and its family members constitute the principal sources of the incriminated allergens.
