Beberapa kasus urtikaria pada paparan debu dan diantaranya menghubungkan sensitivitas tungau debu rumah (TDR) dengan urtikaria berdasarkan riwayat pasien dan pemeriksaan uji intradermal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan korelasi antara kepadatan TDR dan rekurensi urtikaria. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini 30 orang. Kepadatan TDR dari tiap kamar sampel dihitung dengan mengumpulkan debu, dan sampel dinilai sensitivitas terhadao TDR dengan pemeriksaan skin prick test (SPT). Diagnosis urtikaria berdasarkan anamnesis, kemudian ditanyaan rekurensinya dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Hasil: Dari 30 peserta, tujuh (23,3%) sampel memiliki kepadatan TDR sedang sementara 23 (76,7%) memiliki kepadatan rendah. Selain itu, 15 sampel positif SPT terhadap alergen TDR. Dari anamnesis, 12 (40%) sampel didiagnosis urtikaria dan diantaranya, 11 orang (91,67%) positif terhadap SPT. Tidak ada sampel yang memiliki rekurensi urtikaria dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Kesimpulan: Meskipun penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan antara kepadatan TDR dan tingkat kekambuhan urtikaria (p> 0,05), TDR memang bisa memicu eksaserbasi. Penelitian ini membutuhkan penyelidikan lebih lanjut dengan ukuran sampel yang lebih besar.

Is Atopy Related to Neuroticism, Stress, and Subjective Quality of Life?Different psychosocial characteristics have been associated with allergic disorders. The aim of this study was to examine whether atopic constitution and reports of allergic symptoms were related to personality trait of neuroticism, exposure to stressful life events and estimates of quality of life. Atopy was determined by skin prick test and reports of nasal and pulmonary allergy-related symptoms. Actively working individuals of both genders took part in the study (n=145, age range: 20 to 66 years). The participants were divided in three groups. The first group was composed of those with negative skin prick test and without symptoms (n=57), the second of those with positive skin prick test but without symptoms (n=28), and the third of those with positive skin prick test and symptoms (n=60). The groups did not differ significantly in neuroticism, exposure to stressful life events, or quality of life. Women reported more pronounced neuroticism and anxiety, higher exposure to stressful life events, and were less satisfied with their environment than men. In our sample of active workers we found no association of neuroticism, exposure to stressful life events, and quality of life with atopy and allergic symptoms.

Background: Quality of life in chronic idiopathic urticaria is hampered as efficacy of H1-antihistamines is limited. Autologous serum containing tolerance-generating anti-idiotype antibodies is a novel and cost-effective therapy. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of autologous serum therapy (AST) among chronic urticaria patients with autologous skin prick test positive and negative status.Methods: Untreated 102 patients of chronic urticaria were enrolled in a non-randomized interventional study. Patients were categorized into two groups based on autologous serum skin prick test as test positive (ASST +) and test negative (ASST -). Patients were then treated with intramuscular injection of 0.05ml per kg body weight of autologous serum weekly for 10 weeks. Urticaria activity scoring (UAS) tool was used for quantification of the symptoms. Weekly recording of UAS (range: 0-42) was made before the therapy (baseline) and during the therapy for 10 weeks.Results: Significant improvement with AST in the mean UAS was noted from baseline to 10 weeks in both the group of patients (14.6 ± 6.3 and 10.2 ± 5.1 for ASST+ group; 16.9 ± 7.8 and 8.6 ± 4.8 for ASST- group; at baseline and 10 weeks, respectively (p-value for both <0.05)). However no statistical significance was found while comparing the efficacy of the therapy against ASST + and ASST - Groups (p-value > 0.05).Conclusions: Irrespective of autologous skin prick test results, autologous serum therapy showed significant improvement in patients with chornic idiopathic urticaria. AST can, thus, be an effective treatment modality for it.
