Allergy to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p1) and Dermatophagoides farina (Der f1) in Patients with Atopic Asthma
Abstract: BACKGROUND House dust mites (HDMs) are important sources of indoor allergens. The prevalence of sensitization to HDM in atopic patients is around 70 % to 90 % worldwide. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to measure the specific IgE to components of Der p1and Der f1 in asthmatic patients at Qena Governorate, Egypt. METHODS We performed a prospective evaluation of 48 HDM sensitized asthmatic patients with positive skin prick test to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) and Dermatophagoides farina (Der f). Patients underwent Immuno CAP for specific IgE to Der p 1, Der f 1. RESULTS Skin prick test were done to 132 patients asthma with attending to Qena University Hosptal to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) and Dermatophagoides farina (Der f) and other allergenic components, also skin prick test were done to 38 healthy people as a control group. Skin prick test were positive in 48 patients (36.36 %) (P value is
