OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this present study was to investigate @entity2023 in the spring and @entity566 ( @entity566 ) in Sapporo to utilize it for future treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of the @entity1 referred to our out- @entity1 clinic during April and May in 1999. all those that were suspected to have @entity2023 were asked to fill in a questionnaire. A 101 @entity1 (30 males and 71 females) with a mean age of 33 years (range 7-74 years) answered the questionnaire. In all, the @entity1 specific IgE tests were performed. RESULTS: The most common allergen was birch, affecting 54 of 87 @entity1 (62%). In 61% of @entity1 with birch @entity566 , we observed fruit and vegetable @entity566 . Among them, apple was the most prevalent allergen (97%), followed by @entity2486 (67%), cherry (58%), pear (40%), plum (40%) and @entity2487 (33%). The sensitivity of skin prick test with commercial extract to apple was low (11%). CONCLUSION: @entity1 with birch pollen @entity566 had @entity566 much more frequently than ever reported in Japan, although @entity566 has not widely been known in Japan. @entity1 with birch pollen @entity566 should be informed about the possibility of @entity56 to certain fruits.
