Following the unexpected death from acute anaphylaxis of a patient receiving house dust mite desensitization, general practitioners throughout Hampshire were asked about their experience of desensitization and its side effects, by means of a questionnaire. From a total of 695 doctors, 452 (65 per cent) returned valid questionnaires. Sixty-three doctors (14 per cent) did not use desensitization at all, while 20 (4 per cent) used more than 20 courses per year, mainly for patients with hay fever. The majority of doctors were modest prescribers of five or less courses per year of any one preparation. Apart from the fatal case which stimulated this enquiry, one other death was reported.
在一名接受屋尘螨脱敏治疗的患者因急性过敏反应意外死亡后，汉普郡的全科医生通过问卷调查被问及他们在脱敏治疗及其副作用方面的经验。在总共695名医生中，452名（65%）返回了有效问卷。63名医生（14%）根本不使用脱敏治疗，而20名（4%）医生每年使用超过20个疗程，主要用于治疗花粉热患者。大多数医生每年对任何一种制剂的处方量都比较适度，为五个疗程或更少。除了引发此次调查的致命病例外，还报告了另外一例死亡病例。
