SPT: Skin prick test. NS: Non-statistically significant. OAS: Oral Allergy Syndrome. Non-statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) have been observed among both groups between symptoms and sensitizations to other pollens (Artemisia vulgaris, Platanus hibrida, grasses, Parietaria judaica, Cupressus arizonica and Plantago lanceolata). | |||
