Abstract

The article presents the main causes of the spread of ragweed pollen associated with global warming, describes the epidemiology, methods of control and prevention of pollen allergy, as well as modern principles of diagnosis and treatment of allergy to ragweed pollen. The main culprit of pollinosis is plant pollen. Clinical manifestations of allergy to ragweed pollen allergen are allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, bronchial asthma and, less often, contact dermatitis/urticaria. Up to 70% of patients with allergies to ragweed pollen react to products of the pumpkin family, as well as bananas, apple, apricot, etc. and this is due to the fact that these products and ragweed pollen contain similar proteins. Treatment of allergy to ragweed pollen with immunobiological and genetically engineered biological drugs effectively reduces the symptoms of allergic rhinitis throughout the pollination season.
