Beberapa kasus urtikaria pada paparan debu dan diantaranya menghubungkan sensitivitas tungau debu rumah (TDR) dengan urtikaria berdasarkan riwayat pasien dan pemeriksaan uji intradermal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan korelasi antara kepadatan TDR dan rekurensi urtikaria. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini 30 orang. Kepadatan TDR dari tiap kamar sampel dihitung dengan mengumpulkan debu, dan sampel dinilai sensitivitas terhadao TDR dengan pemeriksaan skin prick test (SPT). Diagnosis urtikaria berdasarkan anamnesis, kemudian ditanyaan rekurensinya dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Hasil: Dari 30 peserta, tujuh (23,3%) sampel memiliki kepadatan TDR sedang sementara 23 (76,7%) memiliki kepadatan rendah. Selain itu, 15 sampel positif SPT terhadap alergen TDR. Dari anamnesis, 12 (40%) sampel didiagnosis urtikaria dan diantaranya, 11 orang (91,67%) positif terhadap SPT. Tidak ada sampel yang memiliki rekurensi urtikaria dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Kesimpulan: Meskipun penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan antara kepadatan TDR dan tingkat kekambuhan urtikaria (p> 0,05), TDR memang bisa memicu eksaserbasi. Penelitian ini membutuhkan penyelidikan lebih lanjut dengan ukuran sampel yang lebih besar.

Background Children who grow up in rural areas have a lower incidence of atopy and other allergic manifestations than children in urban areas. Several recent studies have suggested that agricultural exposure may protect children from developing asthma and atopy, but these findings are inconsistent.Objective To examine an association between living in rural or urban areas and skin prick allergy test results in children and to detennine associated risk factors for atopy.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in Karo district (rural) and Medan (urban) in October-December 2009. We enrolled primary school children who had a history of atopy in their families. Skin prick testing was done on the volar side of the forearm and included eight aero-allergens: house dust mites, house dust, cotton, chicken feathers, cat dander, cockroaches, mould, and pollen. We analyzed the folloMng risk factors forassociation Mth atopy: tobacco smoke, pets, livestock exposure, and having older sibling(s).Results We recruited 49 children from the Karo district and 52 children from the city of Medan. There were significant associations between living in an urban area and positive skin prick test results for house dust mites and house dust compared to living in a rural area (P=0.04, 95% CI: 1.11 to 5.91; P=0.04, 95% CI: 1.13 to 12.45, respectively). The reverse was true for cockroach allergens (P=0.02, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.81). Tobacco smoke and livestock exposure were associated Mth negative skin prick test results in rural children (P=O.03, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.81 and P=0.002, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.42, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that lack of livestock exposure was the major risk factor associated Mth any positive skin prick test results in rural children (P=0.004; 95% CI ; 0.02 to 0.49).Conclusion There were differing associations between living in rural and urban areas to various skin prick test results in children. Lack of livestock exposure was the risk factor associated with positive skin prick test results in rural children.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The urticaria lasting for more than 6 weeks is termed chronic urticaria. The etiology of chronic urticaria and angioedema remains uncertain in most of the patients. Aeroallergens can induce or exacerbates chronic urticaria. The common aeroallergens are house dust mites (HDM), pollens, moulds, etc. House dust mites can trigger immunological process through ingestion, inhalation or inoculation. These mite allergens are resistant to high temperatures, and do not lose their antigenic property even on cooking. HDMs can also cause worsening of existing atopic dermatitis.

Background: House dust mites are inhaled allergens and as a trigger of the onset of allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and alergic rhinitis. Mites are the major allergenic components from house dust. House dust mite section containing allergens in the cuticle, the sex organs and the gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 80% of patients allergic to house dust mites have specific IgE antibodies against group I and II allergens that clinically associated with asthma, atopic dermatitis, alergic rhinitis. This IgE can be detected in serum by immune assay or on the skin with a skin allergy test.Purpose: To provide a profil picture of allergy with the result of skin prick test positive to housedust mites in allergy - immunology clinic medicine in public hospital Prof. Kandou period 2007 - 2009.Method and results : This study uses a retrospective descriptive method trough medical records at the allergy- immunology clinic in public hospital Prof. Kandou period 2007 - 2009.

Abstract: House Dust Mites (HDM) is one of the allergen that triggers allergic reactions, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and conjunctivitis, also it could happen to anyone. One of the common ways to do an allergic test, is Skin Prick Test, and this kind of test often performed in hospital. The aim of this study is to know the profile of patients with positive result in Skin Prick Test of HDM. This is a descriptive retrospective study. Subject of this study is medical records of all the patients that diagnosed as allergy with positive results in Skin Prick Test of HDM in Allergy-Immunology department of Prof. Kandou hospital Manado from January 2010 – October 2012. The data is then  processed in the form of tables/graphs that are included based on frequency of year of occurrence, sex, age, occupation, and diagnose. It is included that the number of patients who met the study criteria are 119 patients, with the highest peak in the year 2010 (39.5%), women patients are more than males (53.8%), the largest age group is 51-60 years (29, 4%), most jobs are civil servants (26.0%), and bronchial asthma (28.6%) is the highest diagnosis.

Background The most common tests for allergen sensitization in patients with allergic rhinitis are the skin-prick test (SPT) and an in vitro test to detect serum specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE). However, in vitro allergen test results were interpreted dichotomically as positive or negative at a threshold of 0.35 kU/L of sIgE, regardless of the patient characteristics or antigen types. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the cutoff value for sIgE in house-dust mites and animal dander, and to analyze differences in cutoff value according to age and gender. Methods A total of 16,209 patients with more than one allergic rhinitis symptom who underwent both SPT and serum sIgE testing were retrospectively evaluated between March 2008 and May 2012. There were 9374 male (57.8%) and 6835 female (42.2%) patients. The mean age was 31.8 years (range, 2–89 years). The criterion standard for allergen sensitization was defined as a wheal of >3 mm or an allergen-to-histamine ratio of ≥1 in SPT results. The Youden index was used to calculate the cutoff value of sIgE. Results Cutoff values of sIgE for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, cat, and dog were 0.69, 1.16, 0.13, and 0.45 kU/L, respectively. The cutoff value of sIgE changed according to age for D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae but not for cat and dog allergens. When categorizing according to age group, the cutoffvalues ofsIgE for D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae had a tendency to decrease with age. There was no significant difference in cutoffvalue according to gender. Conclusion The cutoffvalue for sIgE differed for each antigen and changed with age. Physicians should select the proper cutoffvalue for sIgE for appropriate criteria according to antigen and patient age rather than using a uniform cutoffvalue.
