Abstract
Although there are a few isolated reports in the literature suggesting that sugar beet pollen is highly antigenic, hypersensitivity to compo nents of sugar beet is not a common disease. We report a 29-year-old m an with a history of atopic dermatitis who developed both contact derm atitis and allergic rhinitis from sugar beet pollen through his job in a seed nursery.
