House - Dust Mites , the Atopy Patch Test and Caring for the Patient with Atopic Dermatitis
نویسنده
چکیده
As the incidence of allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD), increases, there is continuing interest about the underlying cause of these conditions. There is little question that the causes of AD are multifactorial and include allergy, genetics, infection, and climactic and emotional influences. The degree to which each of these components has a role in the causation of AD is controversial. The role of aeroallergen sensitivity, particularly to house-dust mite (HDM), remains a topic for debate.

Atopy patch test reactivity to house dust mites in patients with scabies.
It is well known that the house dust and the scabies mites are related phylogenetically. We therefore performed atopy patch tests with house dust mite antigens (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) and/or Dermatophagoides farinae (Df)) in scabies patients without atopy and healthy controls. We studied 25 men with active scabies and 25 healthy controls. Skin prick tests with standardized house du...

متن کاملEvaluation of patch test with airbone allergic agents in patients with atopic dermatitis.
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease that can be triggered by many factors. Several reports confirm the role of airborne allergic agents as aggravating or triggering factors. The patch test with airborne allergic agents or the atopy patch test was suggested to evaluate the role of these allergens in atopic dermatitis. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at evaluating the positi...
متن کاملComparison of atopy patch testing to skin prick testing for diagnosing mite-induced atopic dermatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) can occur after contact with aeroallergens like house dust mites, pollen, and animal dander. Despite its controversial diagnostic value, the atopy patch test (APT) has been used as an important tool in the diagnosis of AD caused by house dust mites. Here, we present a meta-analysis comparing APT to the common skin prick test (SPT) in the diagnosis of mite-induc...
