[Epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of the house-dust-mite allergy in asthmatic children].
Authors introduced as the first in Yugoslavia the method of isolation and classifying Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus out of house dust using the first the help of Spieksma, Cunnington and Araujo, later on by themselves in new established laboratory. In house dust of 290 houses of asthmatic children in 88 (30,8%) through of cases mites were found, mostly Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. 212 asthmati children who did not react well to specific hyposensitisation with standard house dust extract showed an allergy to house dust mites in 76 (35,8%), who were successful treated with allergen extract Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus with the cutaneous method of hyposensitisation. House dust mites allergy has clinical importance in asthmatic children for pathogenesis of asthma bronchiale in childhood as well in adults. IgE values in the serum after the radioimmunological method in asthmatic and healthy children has been estimated. In asthmatic children we found statistical significant higher of IgE values in the serum as in healthy children, this is probably caused by the infestation from Ascaris lumbricoides. Asthmatic children were significant stengher infesteds the healthy children.
