Dust mite allergens are common factors causing bronchial hypersensitivity in children with diagnosed bronchial asthma. As one of the main type of allergens in the domestic environment, they take a signifi cant part in this process. The authors studied the severity of bronchial asthma (according to GINA 2006) of 16 children and teenagers with confi rmed allergy to mites, who lived in the city situated in Upper Silesia, in correlation to acarofauna of their dwellings. Mite species, their number in 1 g of dust and guanine concentration in 1 g of dust (Acarex test) were examined in 57 house samples from 16 houses or fl ats. The dominant species were Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus; other species of mites, such as: Euroglyphus mayenei, Gymnoglyphus longior, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Lepidoglyphus fustifer occurred only sporadically. There was no correlation found between the severity of bronchial asthma and the level of exposure to mite allergens from household environments in the studied group of mite-sensitive children and teenagers.

U dzieci z astmą oskrzelową alergeny roztoczy kurzu domowego są często czynnikami powodującymi nadreaktywność oskrzeli. Jako jedne z głównych alergenów w środowisku domowym mają w tym względzie duże znaczenie. Autorzy poddali analizie stopień ciężkości astmy oskrzelowej (wg GINA 2006) u 16 osób w wieku rozwojowym mieszkających w mieście na Górnym Śląsku), wykazujących alergię na roztocze, w odniesieniu do akarofauny kurzu z ich mieszkań. Pod uwagę wzięto gatunki roztoczy, ich liczbę w 1 g kurzu oraz stężenie guaniny w 1 g kurzu (Acarex test). Dominującymi gatunkami były D. farinae i D. pteronyssinus, a inne gatunki roztoczy (Euroglyphus mayenei, Gymnoglyphus longior, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Lepidoglyphus fustifer) występowały sporadycznie. Nie stwierdzono zależności stopnia ciężkości astmy oskrzelowej od stopnia narażenia na alergeny roztoczy w środowisku domowym osób objętych badaniem.
