Analysis of the multicomponent ALEX array data to examine patterns of sensitization in Cape Town, South Africa
Our study confirms a known pattern of aeroallergen sensitisation for a coastal temperate region, with increasing pollen sensitisation, particular C4 grasses. Clinicians should be aware of the diversity of tree pollen sensitisation, cross-reactivity patterns between food and pollen sensitisations and rates of minor allergen sensitisations for Blomia and animal danders when considering allergen-immunotherapies.
