Abstract

Increased serum IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, a house dust mite, were observed in 12 of 13 institutionalized mite-sensitive asthmatic children after returning for four days to their own homes. These results implicate the house dust mite as a trigger of asthmatic attacks in these patients.
