A Comprehensive Comparison between Some Species of Mites That Cause Allergic Asthma

Abstract

         A mite allergy is an allergic response to mites which often inhabit damp and dark environments. Signs of mite allergy include rhinitis such as sneezing, runny nose and asthma such as wheezing and difficulty breathing. The study was purposed to a comparison of a few mite species that cause allergic asthma. The increasing prevalence of respiratory allergy especially dust mite allergy in Iraq has caused climate change. The study was aimed to investigate some immunological and hematological in the patient suffering from dust mite and storage mite allergy.  Mite allergy was diagnosed by Skin-prick test, intradermal test, and particular amount of IgE level. Individuals (90) blood sample  was collected from Specialized allergy center and private laboratories ;  Included (60) samples [female (36) , male (24)] from patients  suffering  allergic asthma of House Dust Mites ,their  ages are between (15-50) years and(30)samples [female(18),male (12)] from patients  suffering  allergic asthma of storage mite ,  their  ages are between (20-45) years  . The number of apparently healthy control was (30) [females (16) and males (14)] their ages are between (22- 45) years. The Immunological factors were studied including assessment of serum interleukin IL-4 level, and total of serum IgE level. About season (35.00%) of storage mites increased in autumn and (55.00%) of house dust mites increased in winter. The environmental factors play as a trigger factor for emergence of respiratory allergies in Iraq brought on by storage and house dust mites. The season is major role for increasing dust mite allergy has confirmed the importance in the research.
