| Abstract |
Review of the biology of acarids that live on the vine plant, and of the chemical products used for their control in the Champagne region of France. 35 cases of seasonal allergy (asthma, rhinitis) are described among vineyard workers, 7 of whom developed "pseudo-pollinoses", but with skin tests and RASTs consistently positive to acarids (3 cases of pure rhinitis, 3 cases of pure asthma, and 1 case of a combination of the two conditions). This is an occupational allergy unknown until now in this economic sector, and an epidemiologic survey is suggested for vineyard workers in Champagne and elsewhere in France. |
