[Inhalation mite provocation in atopic patients in relation to high altitude conditions].
The clinical diagnosis of allergy of the respiratory system caused by flour or dust mites--i.e. perennial bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis--hat to be proved by the case history, prick test, RAST, as well as provocative inhalation, before any hyposensitization measures are taken. The mountain climate (above 1500 m) is especially appropriated for these procedures since mites cannot live here. With regard to the pulmonary function and the correlation to RAST, we evaluated 83 specific bronchial and nasal provocative inhalation tests with dust or flour mites performed on patients suffering from atopic dermatitis and allergies of the respiratory system.
