Abstract:
During a multicentre trial, responses of serum from 60 asthmatic children with allergy to the mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (D1) were compared to D. farinae (D2) and 4 storage mites. The known cross reaction between D1 and D2 was confirmed but no such reaction was found between D1 and/or D2 and the storage mites. Because the important cross reactivity between storage mites, the choice of the allergen will depend on the historical and epidemiological data of the disease.
