House dust mite control measures in the treatment of asthma
Sensitization to the house dust mite (Dermataphagoides pteronyssinus) (HDM) is the most common risk factor associated with the development of asthma in adults and children. The effectiveness of HDM control measures in the treatment of asthma is not yet proven. The strategies for control for avoidance depend on our understanding of the biology of the HDM. The evidence suggests a favorable effect...
متن کاملHouse dust mite sensitivity in childhood asthma.
The clinical features of perennial asthmatic children with a skin or bronchial reaction to the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) were compared with those of asthmatic children without mite sensitivity. Mite sensitive asthma was characterised by an early age of onset of symptoms, these being predominantly nocturnal. A history of wheezing precipitated by dust exposure, during vacuu...
متن کاملUsefulness of House Dust Mite Nasal Provocation Test in Asthma
PURPOSE We previously reported that the skin prick test was sensitive and the serum specific immunoglobulin E test was specific for predicting positive airway responses to house dust mites (HDMs) in patients with asthma. Because the nose and bronchus are one airway, the nasal provocation test would be more specific for predicting the bronchial responses to HDM than the skin test. METHODS The ...
متن کاملHouse dust mite allergens in asthma and allergy.
IgE antibodies in house dust mite (HDM) allergy follow a predictable pattern. Half are directed against two dominant allergens and the remainder largely against four midpotency allergens. This hierarchical pattern is not changed by the titre of the IgE response or severity of disease. The structures of these allergens are known and they can be produced as authentic recombinant allergens. There ...
متن کاملHouse dust mite allergy
The importance of the allergens in sensitisation and disease can be readily demonstrated in regions with and without mite infestation. Dose-responce relationships in regions with high infestation are less easy to detect pointing to the importance of variations of other factors. The relationship between allergic disease and IgE antibody shows that only people with very high responses become pers...
