A 13-year Study of Japanese Cedar Pollinosis in Japanese Schoolchildren
Allergology International, 2008 Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) sensitization and Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCPS) appear to be increasingly prevalent in younger children. The present study investigated factors affecting JCP sensitization and JCPS development in school children.In May or June each year from 1994 to 2006, 275-510 children were assessed for serum JCP-IgE and house dust ...
