title: [Diagnosis and hyposensitization treatment of patients with house dust mite allergies in high mountain areas].
abstract: The fact that house dust mite can't exist in the high mountains above an altitude of 1500 m permits diagnostics bearing only low risks (to prove actual hyposensitivity with the help of provocation tests) and also low risk therapy (hyposensitization therapy). Allergenic extracts of freeze-dried mites (Pharmalgen) have the advantage of being immediately and for different patients available.
