“…Among cannabis nonsmokers, the prevalence of sensitization to C. sativa in SPT was 5% (19/379) whereas for smokers, the prevalence was 14.6% (21/144) [OR 3.2 (1.6–6.2), p < 0.001] and even higher in frequent or regular smokers (4/22, 18.2%) [ 48 ]. A study conducted in India indicated that cannabis sativa was one of the most common allergens resulting in positive sensitization in SPTs [ 49 ]. In total, 17 of 50 subjects were presented with a wheal of 3.52 mm diameter.…”

Cannabis allergy is a relatively new phenomenon described in the 1970s. Its increased frequency has been observed over the last years due to the increasing therapeutic and recreational use of cannabis-based products. Sensitization possibly leading to allergy symptoms can occur not only through the smoking of cannabis, but also through ingestion, the inhalation of pollen, or direct contact. The severity of symptoms varies from benign pruritus to anaphylaxis. There is scant information available to support clinicians throughout the entire therapeutic process, starting from diagnosis and ending in treatment. In this review, we present six cases of patients in whom molecular in vitro testing revealed sensitization to cannabis extract and/or cannabis-derived nsLTP molecules (Can s 3). Based on these cases, we raise important questions regarding this topic. The article discusses current proposals and highlights the importance of further research not only on cannabis allergy but also on asymptomatic sensitization to cannabis allergens, which may be ascertained in some percentage of the population.

The landscape of allergy practice in India is undergoing transformative changes, shifting from traditional symptom management to embracing advanced diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for disease modification. This evolution is propelled by the integration of subcutaneous immunotherapy, biologic treatments, and the exploration of probiotics, alongside advancements in diagnostic approaches such as component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) and basophil activation tests. Despite the promising potential of these innovations to enhance patient care, their implementation faces challenges, including limited awareness, safety concerns, accessibility, and affordability. Moreover, the development and standardization of allergy diagnostics, such as CRD, along with the establishment of regional pollen calendars, are crucial for improving the precision of allergy care. This abstract underscores the need for overcoming existing barriers and leveraging emerging technologies and treatments to significantly improve the management of allergic diseases in India, aiming for a future where allergies are not just managed but effectively controlled and prevented.
