The concentration of pear pollen in the atmosphere was measured in the flowering season of pear trees, and pear pollinosis (PPS) in farmers who had been engaged in pear cultivation were studied between 1982 and 1984. A modified tube coating radioimmunoassay (TCR) was applied in detecting the serum-specific IgE antibody to pear pollen. Pear pollen concentration in the atomosphere was small in the pear-flowering season, except on days of pollination work. One or more allergic symptoms during the pollination work occured in 585/1723 (34.0%) of the subjects. Of 97 allergic subjects from the 585, 14 (14.4%) were diagnosed as with PPS. The age of the 14 averaged 38.4 years (mean time of pear cultivation work, 17.4 years), and all had symptoms of rhinitis. The serum-specific IgE antibody to pear pollen was positive in 11 (78.6%) of the 14 with PPS. A good correlation between TCR and skin/provocation tests was found.
