Abstract:
We have worked with the co-authors to present the impact of plant allergenic pollen-induced allergic diseases on public health in this scientific paper.
We have provided an overview of the current state of allergic disease spread for the months of March through June 2024, focusing primarily on individuals sensitive to allergic factors residing in the Tirana region.
We conducted a prick test on 328 patients who exhibited symptoms of plant pollen allergy to accomplish this goal, among other allergy tests.
In individuals susceptible to the allergenic factor, allergic pollen primarily irritates the respiratory tract and produces an iliac load.
Additionally, a study was conducted on the variability of allergic diseases according to age, gender, place of residence, and season of analysis.
Based on the collected data, the following conclusions are drawn: Most seasonal pollinosis patients (201 cases) are male and reside in rural area (216 cases); the majority of those with allergic diseases are in the 25–35 age range; the majority of those with pollen-related allergic reactions occur in the spring; and the predominant allergenic pollen species in the Gramineae family (155 cases) is the primary cause of allergic reactions.
