TL;DR: It is suggested that urban areas constitute a model useful to study potential modalities of exposure and sensitization to horse allergen by other routes of exposure than horse-riding and some aspects related to dispersion of horse allergens from sources such as stables to indoor environments are illuminated.

TL;DR: There is a need of particular attention in managing delivering women suffering from latex allergy and bronchial asthma, with accurate anamnestic, clinical and diagnostic evaluation, latex-free anesthesiological setting, use of oxytocin-alternative agents and, if necessary, a drug premedication are likely to reduce the risk of anaphylactic/broncho-obstructive reactions in these women.

TL;DR: It is suggested the utility, in patients with O.e. pollinosis who travel in Northern europe, to plan SPT and/or specific IgE determinations also with F. v. and L.v. allergenic extracts for the possibility of developing a nasal and/ or bronchial symptomatology after the inhalation of these pollen grains.

TL;DR: Current knowledge about allergic diseases during pregnancy is reviewed, considering the points of view of the different specialists involved in their management, and topical mucosal agents seem to be the safest, due to their minimal or absent absorption which should reflect reduced side effects.
