title: [Antigenicity and allergenicity of acarians. Study of 7 varieties in a population of 33 allergic patients].
abstract: A population of 33 patients who were known to be sensitive to mites were studied by the authors to establish whether 7 types of mites were responsible. A complementary and comparative study by the same Immunology laboratory compared the RAST and TDBH values as an addition to the skin test responses. The role of storage mites seemed to be sufficiently clear to advise increase in systematic research. The discovery of possibly frequent presence of Pyroglyphus africanus was a discovery that justifies other epidemiological and ethnic investigations.
