  Allergic diseases have increased worldwide, especially in tropical regions of Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America. […] Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these trends, but one interesting observation is increased IgE sensitization to HDMs in communities where allergies have been traditionally low prevalent. […] IgE reactivity to HDM allergens has been evaluated since the early 1990s in different regions of the world. […] Due to their rapid industrialization, it is in urban developed regions of Asia where the increase in HDM sensitization has been more pronounced. […] Increased rates of HDM sensitization are also prominent in urban areas of Africa, acting as a major risk factor in children living in affluent localities. […] The increasing rates of HDM sensitization in the Asia Pacific region and other developing areas of South America seem to be also associated with the rapid changes in urbanization and lifestyle.

• #14 The Prevention of House Dust Mite Allergies in Pediatric Asthma

  https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/11/4/469

  This review provides a concise overview of preventive measures against dust mite allergies in pediatric populations, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and evolving approach. Dust mites, ubiquitous microscopic arachnids, pose a significant threat to children’s health, triggering allergies and asthma. Traditional preventive strategies such as regular cleaning, mattress covers, and humidity control are essential but warrant refinement. […] In temperate countries, over half of allergic individuals are sensitized to HDMs, and up to 85% of children with bronchial asthma are sensitized to these main Dermatophagoides species. […] Studies have shown a link between HDM allergen levels in homes and asthma symptoms in children and adults sensitized to HDMs. High exposure to these allergens at home can worsen asthma in HDM-sensitized patients, causing bronchospasms and increased bronchial hyperreactivity. Conversely, reducing exposure can improve symptoms.

  There are substantial differences in the prevalence of sensitization within Europe, as shown by an early study of 20- to 44-year-olds from 35 centers in 15 countries. […] Any detectable presence of IgE-specific antibodies to an inhalant allergen in the blood or skin is a risk and is associated with an increased risk of developing allergic rhinitis and asthma, especially in school-aged children. […] The risk of sensitization already in childhood became clear in the German Multicenter Allergy Study from 1990. […] Children who had antibodies to Der p 1 or Der p 23 at age 5 years or younger had an increased risk of developing asthma at school age. […] In principle, sensitization to multiple allergens carries a higher risk of developing allergic rhinitis or asthma. […] When stating the frequency of sensitization in a patient group or the total population, it must be taken into account that sensitization does not have to be constantly detectable.

• #38 The Prevention of House Dust Mite Allergies in Pediatric Asthma

  https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/11/4/469

  This review provides a concise overview of preventive measures against dust mite allergies in pediatric populations, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and evolving approach. Dust mites, ubiquitous microscopic arachnids, pose a significant threat to children’s health, triggering allergies and asthma. Traditional preventive strategies such as regular cleaning, mattress covers, and humidity control are essential but warrant refinement. […] In temperate countries, over half of allergic individuals are sensitized to HDMs, and up to 85% of children with bronchial asthma are sensitized to these main Dermatophagoides species. […] Studies have shown a link between HDM allergen levels in homes and asthma symptoms in children and adults sensitized to HDMs. High exposure to these allergens at home can worsen asthma in HDM-sensitized patients, causing bronchospasms and increased bronchial hyperreactivity. Conversely, reducing exposure can improve symptoms.

  There are substantial differences in the prevalence of sensitization within Europe, as shown by an early study of 20- to 44-year-olds from 35 centers in 15 countries. […] Any detectable presence of IgE-specific antibodies to an inhalant allergen in the blood or skin is a risk and is associated with an increased risk of developing allergic rhinitis and asthma, especially in school-aged children. […] The risk of sensitization already in childhood became clear in the German Multicenter Allergy Study from 1990. […] Children who had antibodies to Der p 1 or Der p 23 at age 5 years or younger had an increased risk of developing asthma at school age. […] In principle, sensitization to multiple allergens carries a higher risk of developing allergic rhinitis or asthma. […] When stating the frequency of sensitization in a patient group or the total population, it must be taken into account that sensitization does not have to be constantly detectable.

  The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) varies between 15 and 50% in different populations and as such, is considered a major public health problem worldwide. […] AR can be classified as seasonal (e.g., hay fever) or perennial for which house dust mites (HDMs) are the most common cause for perennial AR. […] A large proportion of patients with AR and/or allergic asthma, are sensitized to HDM, predominantly Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f; American HDM) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p; European HDM). […] The prevalence of sensitization to these mites is reported to be from 8 to 90% in different countries. […] House dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis (HDM-AR) is an IgE-mediated immune response occurring in the mucosal lining of the nasal cavity, evidenced by a clinical history of rhinitis symptoms (sneezing, nasal pruritis, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion) and/or ocular symptoms (itchy, teary and red eyes) upon HDM exposure, with a positive skin prick test or nasal provocation test and specific IgE testing.

They feed off house dust and the moisture in the air. They are one of the most common indoor allergens, and symptoms can be present year-round. […] Dust mites – sometimes called bed mites – are the most common cause of allergy from house dust. Dust mites live and multiply easily in warm, humid places. They prefer temperatures at or above 70 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity of 75 to 80 percent. They die when the humidity falls below 50 percent. They are not usually found in dry climates. […] Dust mites are a common cause of asthma in children. […] A house does not need to be visibly dirty to trigger a dust mite allergy reaction. The particles are too tiny to be seen and often cannot be removed using normal cleaning procedures. In fact, a vigorous cleaning can make an allergic person’s symptoms worse.

  Dust mites are tiny bugs (to be technical, they’re actually tiny arthropods) that feed on human skin flakes. […] However, if you have allergies or asthma, dust mites can be a really big deal. Their body parts and droppings cause irritation in people who have an allergy to house dust mites. They’re considered one of the most common environmental asthma triggers and most of us are exposed to them all year long. […] But dust mites don’t just worsen asthma. Evidence shows that exposure to dust mite allergens can even cause asthma in children who have not previously had asthma. New studies also warn that dust mites may make asthma worse for adults who were not already sensitive to dust mite allergens. […] The best way to find out if someone in your house is allergic to dust mites is to talk to your doctor, who will ask you questions about your symptoms and may order an allergy test to confirm whether or not you have an allergy. Symptoms of a dust mite allergy include sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, itchy nose postnasal drip, coughing, chest tightness or pain, difficulty breathing, wheezing many of the common signs of asthma and allergies. A person who is sensitive to dust mites might not have all of these symptoms, but for people with asthma they can trigger an attack, and that is worth taking seriously.
