Abstract

Intolerance to plant allergens in manufactured products is widespread. Results of epidemiological investigations in STRASBOURG are given. The rate of allergy to sesquiterpenic lactones has fallen since 1974, due to the fact that the use of an ointment containing these lactones has decreased. Disguised forms of allergens are reviewed, for instance limonene of Niaouli oil (Biogaze), colophony of "hypoallergenic" tapes or of testing material. Chemical investigations are useful in prevention and in allergological control of medicaments.
