TABLE 3.
Reactivity to CCDs and the panallergens profilin and polcalcin. Patients were put into groups 0–5 according to the number of positive pollen extracts (ash, birch, timothy grass, mugwort, ragweed) with n = 100 for each group. In the control group (0), all pollen extracts were negative. Pan‐sensitizations: Coincidence of CCDs, profilin, and polcalcin sensitization. Total percentages were extrapolated for the overall study population (n = 2948).
