    Abstract:
    We treated three asthmatic children diagnosed as typical cryptomeria pollen asthma (Cryptomeria japonica). Wheezing started from one to four years after onset of pollinosis. Asthmatic attacks occurred one or several days after pollen counts increased. We could find asthmatic attacks in the years when the pollen counts were higher than in average years. In the laboratory findings, only specific IgE antibody to cryptomeria with its high titer of over 17.5 PRU/ml was detected in these three cases. Allergen inhalation tests were performed with positive results in the two cases, suggesting that these three cases were typical child cryptomeria pollen asthma.
