Vienna (OTS) – Questions about pollen allergies are becoming more and more complex – answers to these questions are provided by research at the Medical University of Vienna and the free services of the Austrian Pollen Warning Service at MedUni Vienna. For many allergy sufferers, these are indispensable companions during the flowering period of the plants. The facility at the University Clinic for Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases has also offered doctors valuable support for everyday practice for many years and is now expanding this service even further.

As part of a Press briefing on March 18, 2021, which takes place online and with limited attendance from 10:00 am, experts from the Medical University of Vienna present these services as well as the new edition of the book “Pollen & Allergy” in cooperation with MANZ Verlag and explain the increasing diversity and complexity of pollen allergies. You will also find out how the pollen season will continue, which this year started somewhat delayed due to the cold snap in January.
