Since mite antigen is an important causative agent of atopic dermatitis (AD), establishment and maintenance of a mite-reduced home environment would be an effective means to mitigate the symptoms. For establishing and maintaining a mite-reduced home environment, the structure of the residence, as well as the life style of the residents are important factors to consider. Based on a hypothesized behavior of the mite antigens a cleaning program was developed. Application of this program for establishing and maintaining a mite-reduced room in a patient's home produced a reduction in both mite population and mite antigen level, as well as a mitigation of the patient's symptoms. An air purifier was shown to have the ability to reduce, to a certain extant, specific mite antigens. The results suggest that an air purifier would be an effective contribution to the maintenance of a mite-reduced home environment.
由于螨抗原是特应性皮炎（AD）的重要致病因素，建立并维持一个螨虫数量减少的家庭环境将是缓解症状的有效方法。为了建立并维持一个螨虫数量减少的家庭环境，居住结构以及居住者的生活方式都是需要考虑的重要因素。基于对螨抗原假定行为的研究，制定了一个清洁方案。在患者家中应用该方案来建立并维持一个螨虫数量减少的房间，结果螨虫数量和螨抗原水平均有所降低，患者症状也得到缓解。结果表明，空气净化器在一定程度上有能力减少特定的螨抗原。这些结果提示，空气净化器将对维持螨虫数量减少的家庭环境做出有效贡献。
