Olive pollen allergy T78.0, T 78.1, L27.-

Type I Sensitization to allergens of olive pollen. Ole e 1 is the major allergen for olive pollen allergy sufferers and is recognized by 70% of these allergy patients. Ole e 1 has a remarkable sequence analogy with other members of the Ole e 1-like protein family. This family includes ash (Fra e 1 ), privet (Lig v 1) and lilac (Syr v 1). Furthermore, the allergen from the ribwort plantain Pla l 1 and other taxonomically unrelated species: Lol p 11(ryegrass), Phl p 11(timothy), Che a 1 (goosefoot). In patients with Ole e 1 reactivity not originating from regions with olive trees, this reactivity is an indication of sensitization to ash pollen.
