Cypress pollen allergy (pollinosis) has increased since the mid-20th century, prompting new prevention and treatment strategies. Research is exploring hypoallergenic cypress trees and improved hyposensitization methods.

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Environmental Health
  • Botany

Background:

  • Cupressus sempervirens (cypress) has a long history in Southern Europe, but cypress pollen allergy was first reported in 1945.
  • The first French case reports of cypress pollinosis emerged in 1962.
  • A rising trend in cypress pollinosis prevalence correlates with increased cypress tree cultivation for ornamental purposes, windbreaks, and hedges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent developments in cypress pollen allergy (pollinosis).
  • To discuss emerging prevention strategies and treatment advancements for cypress allergy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of cypress allergy case reports and epidemiological trends.
  • Analysis of current and proposed prevention measures.
