Bedding dust is a mixture of many components, of which the house dust mite (HDM) allergen, Der p 1, is the most allergenic. There has been little work to investigate the effect of other bedding dust components on HDM sensitisation. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of endotoxin in bedding dust on the allergic response in HDM-sensitised individuals. Twenty-nine house dust mite-sensitised adults were skin prick and allergen patch tested against a sterile solution of their own bedding dust and against a solution containing the same concentration of Der p 1 as the bedding solution for comparison. There was no significant difference in wheal size between the diluted house dust mite solution and the bedding dust in spite of their high levels of endotoxin. Symptomatic subjects had larger, but not statistically significant, responses to commercial house dust mite solution than asymptomatic subjects. Allergen patch test responses were negative in 22/29 of subjects using either bedding dust solutions or comparable diluted house dust mite solutions. An individual's own bedding dust does not appear to contain factors that enhance skin prick test or atopy patch test responses to house dust mites.

Background: House dust mites are inhaled allergens and as a trigger of the onset of allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and alergic rhinitis. Mites are the major allergenic components from house dust. House dust mite section containing allergens in the cuticle, the sex organs and the gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 80% of patients allergic to house dust mites have specific IgE antibodies against group I and II allergens that clinically associated with asthma, atopic dermatitis, alergic rhinitis. This IgE can be detected in serum by immune assay or on the skin with a skin allergy test.Purpose: To provide a profil picture of allergy with the result of skin prick test positive to housedust mites in allergy - immunology clinic medicine in public hospital Prof. Kandou period 2007 - 2009.Method and results : This study uses a retrospective descriptive method trough medical records at the allergy- immunology clinic in public hospital Prof. Kandou period 2007 - 2009. Result of this study, the number of allergy sufferers with positive results of skin prick test of house dust mite is 136 patients, with the highest prevalence in 2008. Earned women more than men, highest in the age group 51 - 60 years, most patients work as civil servants, and most diagnosis was found is bronchial asthma.Keyword : house dust mite, allergy, skin prick test.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Tungau Debu Rumah (TDR) merupakan alergen hirup dan sebagai faktor pencetus timbulnya penyakit alergi seperti asma bronkial, dermatitis atopik, konjungtivitis, dan rinitis alergik.1-4 Tungau merupakan komponen alergenik utama dari debu rumah. Bagian TDR yang mengandung alergen adalah kutikula, organ seks dan saluran cerna.1-3Kurang lebih 80% penderita alergi TDR mempunyai antibodi IgE spesifik terhadap alergen kelompok I dan II yang secara klinis berkaitan dengan penyakit asma, dermatitis atopik, dan rinitis alergika.2 IgE ini dapat dideteksi dalam serum melalui immune assay atau pada kulit dengan tes kulit alergi.6Tujuan: Untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai profil penderita alergi dengan hasil skin prick test TDR positif di Poliklinik Alergi-Imunologi RSUP Prof. Dr. R.

Twenty asthmatic children with prick tests positive for house dust or house dust mites were allocated to two groups that were matched for severity. One group was provided with zippered vinyl covers for pillows, mattresses, and box springs, and instructions for making the bedroom as easy to keep clean as a hospital ward; the other group was not. At the end of a 1-month study period, there was a marked and statistically significant difference in symptoms and signs of asthma between the two groups. Those with a dust-free bedroom had fewer days on which wheezing was observed, medication was given, or an abnormally low peak expiratory flow rate was recorded. Bronchial tolerance to aerosolized histamine significantly improved in the group whose bedrooms had been modified. A dust-free bedroom diminishes bronchial irritability and is a practical and effective method for decreasing asthma in children with house dust or house dust mite allergy.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors associated with allergic rhinitis in adults. METHODS: Using the 1:1 matching principle, 1096 cases of allergic rhinitis patients aged 18-65 years were selected as the observation group, and another group of healthy medical checkups were selected as the control group, and the data related to allergic rhinitis were collected by allergen testing and questionnaire survey, and univariate and multifactorial analyses were performed respectively. RESULTS: The univariate analysis showed that allergic rhinitis may be related to temperature changes, dryness and humidity, air pressure, wind speed, seasonal changes and exposure to allergens such as dust mites and house dust mites. After allergen testing of all patients in the observation group, it was found that dust mite and house dust mite were the highest percentage of allergens, accounting for 40.51%, indicating that environmental factors play a decisive role in allergic rhinitis. Multi-factor analysis showed that exposure to dust mites, house dust mites, Penicillium punctatum, Streptomyces crossatus and Aspergillus fumigatus were independent risk factors for allergic rhinitis when it was humid, when it was cold, when it was windy and when the air pressure was low. CONCLUSION: The epidemiological status of allergic rhinitis in adults in China was initially understood, and the main allergens were house dust mite and dust mite, which provided scientific epidemiological information for the standardized prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis in this region.

Abstract: House dust mite are insects that can cause allergies in susceptible people. Population of dust mites in the home depends on factors such as the level of the sea, an area with a longer summer than rainy season, a variety of animals in the house, the house is dirty and a lot of dust, as well as the temperature and humidity of the area. Manado city has several of the factors. Purpose of the study is to investigate the people’s behavior of the population of house dust mites in Perkamil village sub-district of Paal 2 Manado city. Result obtained was 34,86% which shows that people’s knowledge about house dust mites are still lacking. The result of attitude is 97,09% indicated public attitudes towards the prevention and eradication of house dust mite is good. And result of the public action showed 75,96% of the community action efforts to prevent and eradicate house dust mites is enough. Necessary education from health care workers about house dust mites and allergic diseases, prevention and eradication, so that the knowledge that still low will be better and the action that will be good enough.
