Skin prick testing to grass was performed in 83%, with positive results in 3%. Patch testing was performed in 97%, with positive reactions in 5%. Most patients presented with eczematous or urticarial eruptions, yet confirmed immunologic grass hypersensitivity was uncommon. Sensitisation to house dust mites was frequent but did not correlate with grass allergy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>True grass allergy is rare despite high exposure.
