Abstract

Shrimp tropomyosin has a similar structure to house dust mite (HDM) tropomyosin. In this research, 232 adult patients with symptoms of persistent allergic rhinitis were randomly selected. In the group, 59% were sensitized to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and 57.8% to Dermatophagoides farinae. In total, 128 (55.2%) patients were sensitized to both HDM species and 143 (61.6%) to at least one. Slightly over a quarter (25.4%) of patients were sensitized to shrimp. Of the 35 shrimp-sensitized patients, the sensitization to Der p 10 and Pen a 1 was found in 11 cases (31.4%). There was a strong correlation between IgE Pen a 1 and IgE Der p 10 concentrations. The results indicate that there are other allergens responsible for a high incidence of shrimp sensitization in HDM-sensitized patients. A high convergence of Der p 10 and Pen a 1 levels may indicate that the determination of just one of the above is reasonable.

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
