Abstract:
R.I.A. dosages of specific IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae (house dust mites), Acarus siro, Lepidoglyphus destructor, and Tyrophagus putrescentiae (storage mites) in 467 unselected patients were statistically analyzed. A significant noncorrelation between specific IgE antibodies to storage mites and those to house dust mites has been found, suggesting that storage mites have their own allergenic specificity.
