[Parasitic mites and ticks and allergy].
The review contains an of the literature on sensitivity and the clinical manifestations of allergy in human being to various parasitic and free-living mites and ticks (Sarcoptidae, Psoroptidae, Demodicidae, Ixodidae, Argasidae, Gamasina, Trombiculidae, Cheyletidae, Pygmephoridae, Tarsonemidae, Tetranychidae). The epidemiology and clinic of the allergic reactions of man to the penetration of mites and tick allergens through skin at their constant, temporal and occasional parasitizing are considered. The allergic reactions to different mite and tick allergens take both delayed and immediate type. However, the mechanism of these reactions sometimes is unknown. The mites or ticks infestations produce, as a rule, dermal allergic reactions in the atopic patients. In some cases the asthmatic component may be present. The cross-reactivity between mite/tick antigens and pyroglyphid mite antigens complicates the clinic, diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases. New data on the nature and specificity of mite and ticks allergens are presented.
