Thirty patients from the White and Coloured asthma clinics were subjected to skin prick tests with various antigens. Although the house-dust mite was found to be the main offender, 9 of the 30 patients showed a significant reaction to cockroach antigen. It is felt that cockroaches play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma in the Durban area and that this fact should be considered in desensitization programmes.
来自白人和有色人种哮喘诊所的30名患者接受了多种抗原的皮肤点刺试验。虽然发现屋尘螨是主要致病因素，但30名患者中有9名对蟑螂抗原表现出明显反应。人们认为蟑螂在德班地区哮喘的发病机制中起作用，这一事实在脱敏方案中应予以考虑。
