Analyzing plant-related allergies using skin tests

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the prevalence of sensitization to gibberellin-related proteins (GRPs) found in pollens and certain foods, particularly focusing on the allergen Pru p 7 from peaches. It aims to determine the extent of sensitization in patients consulting the Allergy Unit at the University Hospital of Montpellier, especially in regions with high pollen exposure. Participants will undergo skin prick tests to assess their allergic responses to GRPs and potential cross-reactivity with other foods. The findings could provide valuable insights into the relationship between environmental allergens and food allergies.
