Regional diagnostic panels for aeroallergens in Canada
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Prevalence of allergenic plants varies by geographic region and climate, which affects the level of allergen exposure experienced by patients in different parts of the country. Because of these variations in exposure it is recommended that allergy practices use customized regional diagnostic panels based on the prevalence and significance of various aeroallergens. However, gathering this information can be difficult for new physicians. The purpose of these recommendations is to provide a foundation for new physicians to begin building a custom aeroallergen panel for all regions of Canada.
