Allergy to house dust and storage mites in children: epidemiologic observations.
One hundred and fifty-two children affected by respiratory syndromes, probably due to allergy, underwent skin testing to a range of extracts including several different species of mites. The incidence of positive reactions to different allergens was studied in two groups: below and over 4 years, each including both outpatients and inpatients. The aetiologic role of mites has been evaluated considering positive skin tests to single species between and within families.
