  • Title: Influence of hyposensitization with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extract on clinical score, total and specific IgE levels, and skin test in asthmatic patients.
    Author: Delaunois L, Salamon E, Prignot J.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1985 Aug; 55(2):150-2. PubMed ID: 4025957.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate the effects of immunotherapy on clinical response, on IgE serum level, on radioallergosorbent test (RAST), and on skin tests, a prospective study was performed by a follow-up of 73 asthmatic patients allergic for house dust during hyposensitization with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extract. No relationship could be found between the evolution of clinical score, skin tests and RAST, but 91% of the patients with a decreasing IgE serum level had satisfactory clinical results. Serial determinations of serum IgE levels during hyposensitization showed two patterns of evolution with a favourable prognostic value: a continuously decreasing serum IgE or a primary increase followed by a late decrease.
