Abstract

In the twenty-first century, the occurrence of allergic diseases has increased. Prevention and control of house dust mites (HDMs) are required as they play a major role in allergic conditions. The present work aimed to detect HDM allergy (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae) among allergic patients attending the Allergy and Immunology Unit, Zagazig University. Ninety-six patients with a history of allergic diseases were included in this study. They were examined for allergy to D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae using different diagnostic tools: the skin prick test (SPT) and measurement of specific IgE antibodies to HDM allergen extracts. Ninety-six allergic patients were recruited in this study [60 females (62.5%) and 36 males (37.5%) aged between 5–60 years]. SPT (81.2 and 79.2%) and IgE (70.9 and 75%) gave positive results for both D. pteronyssinus and D. pteronyssinus, respectively. The common risk factors were use of cotton bedding > 10 years old, older homes > 20 years, crowded homes, family history, home dampness and homes at the ground floor. It was concluded that allergies to D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae contribute to allergic diseases in Zagazig City. Use of the SPT and IgE level is a promising diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae.
