Dust Mite

House dust mites are important cause for allergic rhinitis, and almost half of allergic rhinitis patients is sensitized to them. In patients with house dust mite allergy evidence of sensitivity can not be strictly achieved with medical history and patients complaints, since the cause-effect relationships are not obvious. At the same time incomplete allergological examination can lead to an incorrect definition of the main relevant allergens, and expensive treatment may not give the desired result in this cases. The estimation of the allergens for allergenspecific immunotherapy should be based on the disease history, detection of offending allergens by means of allergological examination in vivo with skin tests, nasal or conjunctival provocational tests, and component diagnostics if necessary. This approach based on use of provocational tests as a part of allergological examination is considered to be one of the ways to personalized therapy.

New Treatments

We review current management for allergic rhinitis and possible new treatments for this condition. Management of allergic rhinitis includes promotion of protective factors, avoidance of allergens, and possibly immunotherapy. In recent years, the incidence of allergic rhinitis has increased in many countries. Early intervention at different stages is an important part of management. Allergic disease in infants has been described as the allergic march, commencing with atopic dermatitis accompanied by infantile asthma and progressing to perennial allergic rhinitis induced by house dust mite allergy. In order to prevent polysensitization, allergen-specific immunotherapy should probably be initiated at an earlier age, especially in children with rhinitis who show monosensitization to house dust mite antigens.
