The clinical features of perennial asthmatic children with a skin or bronchial reaction to the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) were compared with those of asthmatic children without mite sensitivity. Mite sensitive asthma was characterised by an early age of onset of symptoms, these being predominantly nocturnal. A history of wheezing precipitated by dust exposure, during vacuuming, bedmaking, or dusting was present in 52% of cases. Asthmatic children with mite sensitivity were more likely to have been born at the time of the year when mite counts were highest. This was consistent with the idea that allergy may be associated with a period of susceptibility to sensitisation in early infancy.
对屋尘螨(粉尘螨)有皮肤或支气管反应的常年性哮喘儿童的临床特征,与无螨敏感性的哮喘儿童进行了比较。螨敏感性哮喘的特点是症状出现年龄较早,且主要在夜间发作。52%的病例有在吸尘、铺床或掸灰尘时因接触灰尘而诱发喘息的病史。有螨敏感性的哮喘儿童更有可能在一年中螨数量最高的时候出生。这与过敏可能与婴儿早期易致敏期有关的观点一致。
