  • Title: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and house dust allergy in west Malaysia.
    Author: Thomas V, Bock Hay Am Tan, Rajapaksa AC.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1978 Feb; 40(2):114-6. PubMed ID: 629426.
    Abstract:
    Three groups of people with different clinical histories and manifestations to house dust were skin tested with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extracts. The results showed close correlation between positive skin tests and clinical sensitivity to dust. The correlation was not, however, perfect and, although D. pteronyssinus is a major factor in house dust allergy, it does not appear to be the sole antigen involved.
