Abstract:
House dust allergy is a well known cause of bronchial asthma. VOORHORST and his team found, that the house dust mite is the most important allergen of house dust. We found in 17.2% of our patients a sensitization to house dust or house dust mite. The value of history, skin tests, bronchial provocation tests with house dust and RAST with mite allergen and house dust is discussed. Finally the results of hyposensitization with Migen in 52 patients are reported.
