  • Title: [Studies of allergen specific IgE antibodies with atopic dermatitis--evaluation of house dust 6 (house dust Japan) specific IgE antibody].
    Author: Takamura T, Nagata M, Nakagawa H, Hashimoto T.
    Journal: Rinsho Byori; 1996 Feb; 44(2):163-8. PubMed ID: 8851201.
    Abstract:
    We examined the usefulness of allergen housedust-6 measurement in 44 patients (22 males and 22 females) with atopic dermatitis. The positivity for each of housedust HD-2 and HD-6 and that for each of D-1 and D-2 was well correlated in more than 90% of the patients (correlation coefficient > 0.85). The positivity for HD-2 and for HD-6 was also correlated in 93.2% of the patients. However, there was a discrepancy between D-1 or D-2 and HD-2 or HD-6 in only a few patients. The positivity for antibody against specific IgE was higher in atopic dermatitis-patients with allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis or bronchial asthma as compared with patients with only atopic dermatitis. Only one patient with severe atopic dermatitis had a negative result for specific IgE, suggesting the contribution of other circumferencial factors in the development of the disease. In conclusion, our study suggested that housedust-6 is useful in clinical evaluation of patients with atopic dermatitis.
