| skin cross-reactivity between dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and storage mites in atopic children. | in our environment, some children with allergic respiratory pathology do not have as favorable an evolution as expected after three years of immunotherapy with d. pteronyssinus extracts. we believe this is due to the existence of other mites whose antigenic determinants are not present in d. pteronyssinus. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate skin cross-reactivity between dermatophagoides and storage mites in children with bronchial asthma. fifty patients were chosen, with a mean age ... | 1991 | 1669575 |
