Table 4.
Number of identified mite molecular allergens and corresponding basal atopic disease (allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis) in 150 patients studied via microarray. Most subjects (64%) with allergic rhinitis displayed a specific IgE response < 9 mite molecules, in contrast to patients with asthma (58%) or atopic dermatitis (68%), who showed a polysensitization profile to ≥10 individual mite allergens.
