In 10 patients from 7-15, with seasonal symptoms of allergic disease of airways, conjunctives and nose oral hyposensitization was carried out. The patients were hyposensitized with grass pollen extracts produced by Sevac Firm. The pollen allergen was administered before pollinating season, in increasing doses recommended by the firm, during five month. The clinical effect, serum IgE allergen specific IgE (asIgE)--levels were assessed. In all patients after hyposensibilization milder symptoms were observed. Serum IgE - level was diminished in 7 patients. There was no change in as IgE levels.
