  • Title: Role of cockroaches in allergy to house dust in Calcutta, India.
    Author: Tandon N, Maitra SB, Saha GK, Modak A, Hati AK.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1990 Feb; 64(2 Pt 1):155-7. PubMed ID: 2306016.
    Abstract:
    Prick skin tests on 200 patients with a history of sensitivity to dust were done against house dust, cockroach, D. pteronyssinus, and D. farinae antigenic extracts. The frequency of positive reaction was 35% to cockroach, 59% to house dust, 84.7% to D. farinae, and 54% to D. pteronyssinus. Distinctively different prevalence of the three antigens, cockroach, house dust, and mites suggest that cockroach antigen is a specific antigen independent from house dust and mite antigens.
