Description

To confirm cedar pollinosis in China and investigate the prevalence of it, from 1995, an epidemiological survey on nasal allergy was carried out among 1660 primary and middle school students and 2167 university students in 3 provinces of south China (Jiangsu, Guangdong, Yunnan), including questionaire investigation, nasal inspection, and allergen skin scratch test. Secondly, clinical observation was made to the patients of nasal allergy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in the spring of 1998. The epidemiological survey showed that the total positive rate of cedar pollen scratch test was 3.8%, and the prevalence of cedar pollinosis was 0.26%. The clinical investigation showed that 16.7% of patients were hypersensitive to ceder pollen. Cedar pollinosis does exist in China. However, the prevalence was low, which was related to the low quantity of cedar pollen and other background factors.
