The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of work\u2010related allergic symptoms and the prevalence of sensitization to pollen of different members of the <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> family.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> We studied 104 employees who were invited to answer an extensive questionnaire and to complete a rhinitis quality of life questionnaire. In addition, they were skin prick tested on location with inhalant allergens and home\u2010made pollen extracts of seven different members of the <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> family. Radio\u2010allergo\u2010sorbent tests were performed to confirm IgE\u2010mediated reactions.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results: <\/jats:bold> Work\u2010related symptoms were reported in 56.7% of all cases, with the main symptom being rhinitis. Sensitization to <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> pollen was found in 20.2% of the employees without one member of the <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> family in particular being most prevalent. Sensitization to <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> pollen was considered to be an important risk factor for the occurrence of work\u2010related symptoms of the upper airways. Furthermore, inhalant atopy as well as sensitization to common airborne pollen including mugwort were closely associated with sensitization to <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> what might be suggestive for cross\u2010sensitization.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions: <\/jats:bold> There is a high prevalence of work\u2010related symptoms in <jats:italic>Chrysanthemum<\/jats:italic> greenhouses. In one\u2010third of the employees these symptoms were caused by an IgE\u2010mediated allergy caused by the pollen of the flowers. Inhalant atopy appeared to have a great impact on the development of such a sensitization. Measurements to reduce the pollen exposure are necessary to prevent a further increase of this occupational allergy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1398-9995.2002.23725.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,11]],"date-time":"2003-03-11T01:50:24Z","timestamp":1047347424000},"page":"835-840","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Prevalence of occupational allergy to <i>Chrysanthemum<\/i> pollen in greenhouses in the Netherlands"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"G.
