%X A significant percentage of agriculturally based occupational rhinitis (OR) is due
to maize pollen exposure in susceptible individuals. Aside from avoidance therapy,
other therapeutic modalities have been hypothesized but not tested. Due to the evident
cross-reactivity shared by Timothy grass pollen and maize pollen, we present our initial
study results of Phleum pretense subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in patients with
maize based OR.
