A role of Chortoglyphus Arcuatus mite for development of bronchial asthma

Full Text:

Abstract

Ten children aged 7 to 14 have been observed for 4 years in Cheboksary city: 4 children had bronchial asthma (BA) and 6 ones had bronchial asthma combined with allergic rhinitis (AR). The bronchial asthma occurred early in all the patients (before 5-year age). Clinical course of the disease was characterized by polyorgan injury and its exacerbation did not contemporize to periods of existence of the Pyroglyphidus mites. Skin tests results and allergen-specific IgE-antibody levels revealed the prevalent sensitizing role of Ch.arcuatus. This fact provided more detailed research of acarofauna of home dust in these children. Monthly monitoring of the mite account inside the flats for 2 yrs found dynamics of its number. The Ch.arcuatus persists at the region roundthe-year and its account grows from March to September. The mite number at the flats correlated to the level of allergen-specific lgG4-antibodies. So, severe torpid course of the allergic diseases with frequent exacerbations is thought to be relevant to permanently high account of the mites and its exposure to the children.
