We studied the intradermal tests of 37 irlh a!nts ( 1 5 tree pollens, 5 gr ass pollens, 5 weed pol lens, 6 mol ds, 5 animal epidermals, and house dust) to 138 p atie nts with asthma and 6 1 p atients with alle rgic rhinit is on Rinkels serial dilution titration technique. The followi ng results were obtained: 1) The mean age of symptom onset were 3 8. 5 year in asthma and 27. 6 year in allergic rhinitis 2) The ratio of p ere nni al symptom atic cas es we r e 57. 4% I n asthm a ar.

Amarants, chenopodium, sage mix,, ragweed mix ,, grain sorghum a nd ripgut etc , were positive in order in grass and weed pollens.
