According to the frequency and prevalence of pollinosis, they occupy a leading place among allergic diseases. Regional features of the region and the prevailing type of vegetation significantly affect the etiology, pathogenesis and clinic of pollinosis. The most common allergen in central Russia is grass pollen, in the Krasnodar Territory ragweed pollen, in Kazakhstan - hemp pollen and 5 types of wormwood, in Uzbekistan cotton and walnut pollen. Although the etiological agent is plant pollen, dustiness, air pollution and, in general, urbanization play a major predisposing role in the occurrence of the disease.
