The purpose of this study is to determine whether exhaled breath temperature, a surrogate marker of airway inflammation, rises during the pollen season in sensitized subjects with allergic rhinoconjucnctivitis with or without mild asthma. Sublingual Immunotherapy with respective allergens suppresses the seasonal increase of EBT. During the second year (2013) of the trial all patients will be treated with 5 grass allergen extract: carry over differences between the active and placebo arms from the previous year (2012) will be looked for.

Changes of exhaled breath temperature before and during the pollen season of subjects treated with 5 grass allergen extract sublingually and the untreated control patients.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the differences between the changes of exhaled breath temperature before and in the pollen season of subjects treated with 5 grass allergen extract applied sublingually and untreated control patients. Possible carry-over differences between the same two arms will be explored during the second year of the trial. Calculations will involve difference between assessment at month 6 and baseline for year 1 (2012) and in year 2 (2013) and comparisons between the two arms of the study will be made.
6 months in year 1 (2012): baseline and at month 6; and 6 months in year 2 (2013): baseline and month 6.
Effect of the treatment on symptoms and objective measurements in blood
6 months in year 1 (2012): baseline and at month 6; and 6 months in year 2 (2013): baseline and month 6.
30 patients will receive the active component 5 grass allergen extract daily during the active pollen season (February-July)
30 patients will receive placebo
30 patients will be subjected to sublingual immunotherapy with 5 grass allergen extract Staloral, starting with 1 spurt of 10 IR/ml increasing them daily stepwise to 10 spurts, switching then to 1 spurt of 300 IR/ml, increasing daily stepwise to 10 spurts, and then maintaining this dose from February till July. 30 patients will be on placebo.
