Dramatic progress of computer technologies triggered the development of global information space covering almost all areas of human activity. Medical sciences including allergy were no exception. Pollen allergy is a common condition characterized by regional and geographic specifics. Current modalities provide distance relationship between the doctor and patient with pollen allergy, optimize treatment and prevention of exacerbations, and improve the quality of life. There are three types of online resources for patients with pollen allergy, i.e., (1) pollen monitoring and pollen count measurements, (2) pollen allergy clinical sign maps, and (3) resources predicting the risk of exacerbations which contain additional important information. This paper addresses current Russian and European internet resources for patients with pollen allergy. European information programs are a part of public health system being a single network that functions stably for many decades. Domestic onl ine resources have recently appeared and their functioning is unstable. However, these online resources are characterized by promising future development.
Keywords: hay fever, pollen allergy, pollen monitoring, symptom, prediction, information resources, internet.
