AR: Allergic Rhinitis; HDM: House Dust Mite

Any sensitization: positive skin prick test result to any of the house dust mite allergens (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, Blomia tropicalis), food allergens (egg, peanut, cow’s milk, shrimp, crab) or aeroallergens (Blatella germanica and Periplanata Americana).
