  https://www.ecarf.org/en/information-portal/allergies-overview/dust-mite-allergy/

  As a first step in diagnosing a suspected house dust mite allergy, the doctor asks the patient about his or her symptoms. The questions include where the symptoms occur, at what time of day and during which seasons, how long they last and whether there are any allergic diseases in the family. After a physical examination, skin and/or blood tests are conducted in order to confirm the presence of an allergy. These tests reveal an allergic disposition to certain house dust mite allergens but do not provide evidence of an actual allergy. This is why a provocation test may be necessary if there are any doubts. For this test, small amounts of the suspected allergen are applied to the patients nasal mucosa under medical supervision. The patient is then observed for swelling of the nose, sneezing or watery eyes. A pulmonary function test is conducted if the patient suffers from respiratory symptoms. For this test, the doctor measures the amount of air that the patient inhales and exhales, and the speed at which air is exhaled. Changes to the airways can be determined through the results. […] Incidentally, pollen, animal hair and mould can also cause symptoms that are similar to those of a house dust mite allergy. For this reason, allergies to these substances should be ruled out.

If you have allergy symptoms all year long (sneezing, watery eyes, congestion, or runny nose), theres a chance its from house dust mites. […] A doctor can do a skin prick test or blood test to find out if you have house dust mite allergy. […] A skin prick test is when your doctor puts a small amount of house dust mite allergen—the part that causes allergy symptoms—into your skin to see how your skin reacts. A raised bump or red spot (called a hive or wheal) may appear in a few minutes. Your doctor will likely test for other allergies at the same time. […] Your doctor can also find out if you are allergic to house dust mites through a blood test. It may take a few days to get the results of this kind of test.

  To diagnose a dust mite allergy, your doctor may give you a physical exam and discuss your symptoms. If your doctor thinks you have a dust mite allergy, they may suggest a skin or blood test. If you have symptoms year-round, you could have a dust mite allergy. […] In prick/scratch testing, a small drop of the possible allergen is placed on your skin. Then the nurse or doctor will lightly prick or scratch the spot with a needle through the drop. If you are allergic to the substance, you will develop redness, swelling and itching at the test site within 20 minutes. […] Blood tests are helpful when people have a skin condition or are taking medicines that interfere with skin testing. They may also be used in children who may not tolerate skin testing. Your doctor will take a blood sample and send it to a laboratory. The lab adds the allergen to your blood sample. Then they measure the amount of antibodies your blood produces to attack the allergens. This test is called Specific IgE (sIgE) Blood Testing.

These tests may include: […] Allergists may place droplets of dust mite allergens on your skin. They then use a lancet to scratch your skin lightly. The droplets will enter your skin through the scratch. […] Your healthcare provider will use a thin needle (21 gauge, slightly smaller than the size of a standard earring) to withdraw a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm. The blood sample goes to a laboratory. The lab adds dust mite proteins to your blood sample and measures the levels of IgE antibodies in it.

  Establishing a diagnosis of an allergy to house dust mites/Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. […] Testing for IgE antibodies is not useful in patients previously treated with immunotherapy to determine if residual clinical sensitivity exists or in patients in whom the medical management does not depend upon identification of allergen specificity. […] Clinical manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (allergic) diseases are caused by the release of proinflammatory mediators (histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from IgE-sensitized effector cells (mast cells and basophils) when cell-bound IgE antibodies interact with an allergen. […] In vitro serum testing for IgE antibodies provides an indication of the immune response to allergens that may be associated with allergic disease. […] Detection of IgE antibodies in serum (class 1 or greater) indicates an increased likelihood of allergic disease as opposed to other etiologies and defines the allergens that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms.

  Allergen results of 0.10-0.34 kU/L are intended for specialist use as the clinical relevance is undetermined. Even though increasing ranges are reflective of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing results when challenged with a specific allergen. The correlation of allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens is essential. A negative test may not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.

This involves placing small drops of various allergens on different parts of their forearm, and then gently pricking the skin, so the substances go into the skin. If the skin becomes red and swollen (like a big mosquito bite) where it was pricked, it’s a sign that the person is allergic to that substance. […] The patient might also need a blood test or a provocation test to aid the diagnosis. The latter involves exposing the membranes lining the nose or eyes to extracts of the potential allergen using a nasal spray or drops. If the lining of the patient’s nose becomes swollen, they sneeze and their nose starts running, they are likely to be allergic to that substance.

  As a first step in diagnosing a suspected house dust mite allergy, the doctor asks the patient about his or her symptoms. The questions include where the symptoms occur, at what time of day and during which seasons, how long they last and whether there are any allergic diseases in the family. After a physical examination, skin and/or blood tests are conducted in order to confirm the presence of an allergy. These tests reveal an allergic disposition to certain house dust mite allergens but do not provide evidence of an actual allergy. This is why a provocation test may be necessary if there are any doubts. For this test, small amounts of the suspected allergen are applied to the patients nasal mucosa under medical supervision. The patient is then observed for swelling of the nose, sneezing or watery eyes. A pulmonary function test is conducted if the patient suffers from respiratory symptoms. For this test, the doctor measures the amount of air that the patient inhales and exhales, and the speed at which air is exhaled. Changes to the airways can be determined through the results.
