Abstract:
:The proper selection of allergen extracts is important in maintaining an efficient allergy practice. This article discusses pollen and mold spore selection, which may be relevant to an individual practitioner's testing survey. The selection of tree, grass, and weed pollen extracts depends on the location of the clinician's allergy practice. Allergenic extract should also be selected based on the allergenicity of the plant's pollen. Examples of pertinent allergenic trees, grass, and weed pollen are given in this article. The complexities of mold spore testing and selection are also emphasized and discussed at some length.
