Alergia na roztocza kurzu
Objawy

Alergia na roztocza kurzu domowego jest jedną z głównych przyczyn całorocznych dolegliwości alergicznych i astmy alergicznej, z objawami rozwijającymi się najczęściej przed 20. rokiem życia. Patogeneza opiera się na reakcji na białka obecne w odchodach i ciałach roztoczy, a nie na samym kurzu. Klinicznie prezentuje się jako alergiczny nieżyt nosa z typowymi objawami: kichaniem, wodnistym katarem, zatkanym nosem, świądem oraz spływaniem wydzieliny po tylnej ścianie gardła. Przewlekłe zapalenie błony śluzowej nosa może prowadzić do oddychania przez usta i zwiększonego ryzyka infekcji górnych dróg oddechowych oraz zapalenia zatok. U pacjentów z astmą alergiczną alergia na roztocza wiąże się z gorszą funkcją płuc i częstszymi zaostrzeniami, a ekspozycja na alergeny roztoczy jest istotnym czynnikiem rozwoju astmy, zwłaszcza u dzieci. Objawy okulistyczne obejmują zaczerwienienie, świąd, łzawienie i obrzęk powiek, a przewlekłe pocieranie oczu może prowadzić do keratoconus. Skórne manifestacje to świąd, zaostrzenie atopowego zapalenia skóry oraz charakterystyczne zmiany wysiękowe i łuszczące się, szczególnie w fałdach skóry i na twarzy.

Objawy kliniczne alergii na roztocza kurzu

Alergia na roztocza kurzu domowego jest jedną z najczęstszych przyczyn całorocznych dolegliwości alergicznych i astmy alergicznej. Objawy kliniczne tej alergii nie są wywoływane przez sam kurz, ale przez białka znajdujące się w odchodach i ciałach roztoczy, które rozprzestrzeniają się wraz z kurzem domowym 12. Uczulenie na roztocza kurzu najczęściej rozwija się w dzieciństwie lub okresie dojrzewania, a większość objawów pojawia się przed 20. rokiem życia 34.

Nasilenie objawów alergii na roztocza

Alergia na roztocza kurzu może mieć przebieg od łagodnego do ciężkiego. W łagodnych przypadkach objawia się okresowym katarem, łzawieniem oczu i kichaniem 12. W ciężkich przypadkach dolegliwości mogą mieć charakter przewlekły (chroniczny), prowadząc do uporczywego kichania, kaszlu, przekrwienia błony śluzowej nosa, uczucia ucisku w obrębie twarzy, zaostrzenia egzemy lub ciężkiego napadu astmy 34.

Nasilenie objawów alergii na roztocza kurzu może być uzależnione od różnych czynników i może zmieniać się w czasie. Objawy mogą pojawić się w ciągu kilku minut do kilku godzin po ekspozycji na alergeny roztoczy kurzu 12.

Charakterystyka czasowa objawów

W przeciwieństwie do alergii sezonowych (np. na pyłki), objawy alergii na roztocza kurzu występują przez cały rok, ponieważ roztocza są stale obecne w środowisku domowym 12. Objawy są jednak zazwyczaj bardziej nasilone w nocy i rano, ponieważ roztocza najczęściej żyją w materacach, poduszkach i pościeli 34. U wielu osób objawy nasilają się w jesieni i zimie, kiedy ludzie spędzają więcej czasu w pomieszczeniach zamkniętych 56.

Charakterystycznym elementem alergii na roztocza kurzu jest fakt, że objawy mogą się pogarszać po spaniu w łóżku silnie zainfekowanym przez roztocza, po zmianie pościeli, podczas sprzątania lub w starych, wilgotnych domach 1. Część osób z alergią na roztocza kurzu obserwuje poprawę objawów podczas pobytu w suchym, ciepłym klimacie 1.

Objawy ze strony układu oddechowego

Objawy nosowe i zatokowe

Alergia na roztocza kurzu najczęściej objawia się alergicznym nieżytem nosa (alergiczny rhinitis), którego typowe objawy to:

  • Kichanie 12
  • Wodnisty katar (wydzielina z nosa) 12
  • Zatkany nos (przekrwienie błony śluzowej nosa) 12
  • Świąd nosa 12
  • Spływanie wydzieliny po tylnej ścianie gardła (tzw. post-nasal drip) 12

U osób z przewlekłą alergią na roztocza kurzu może dojść do stałego zapalenia błony śluzowej nosa, co prowadzi do przewlekłego blokowania nosa i oddychania przez usta 12. To z kolei może zwiększać ryzyko infekcji w obrębie ucha, nosa i gardła 3. Ciężkie objawy mogą również zwiększać ryzyko rozwoju zapalenia zatok (sinusitis) 12.

Objawy astmatyczne

Alergia na roztocza kurzu jest szczególnie istotnym czynnikiem ryzyka dla pacjentów z nieżytem nosa i astmą 1. Jeśli alergia na roztocza kurzu przyczynia się do wystąpienia objawów astmy, pacjent może doświadczać:

  • Trudności w oddychaniu 12
  • Ucisku lub bólu w klatce piersiowej 12
  • Słyszalnego świstu lub świszczącego oddechu podczas wydechu 12
  • Trudności ze snem spowodowanych dusznością, kaszlem lub świszczącym oddechem 12
  • Napadów kaszlu lub świszczącego oddechu, które nasilają się pod wpływem wirusowej infekcji dróg oddechowych, np. przeziębienia lub grypy 12

Ryzyko rozwoju astmy alergicznej jest wyższe u pacjentów cierpiących na alergiczny nieżyt nosa związany z alergią na roztocza kurzu w porównaniu do pacjentów z alergicznym nieżytem nosa wywołanym alergią na pyłki 1. Pacjenci z astmą i alergią na roztocza kurzu statystycznie mają gorszą funkcję płuc i częściej doświadczają zaostrzeń astmy 2.

Jeśli alergia na roztocza kurzu nie jest odpowiednio leczona, może prowadzić do przewlekłego zapalenia dolnych dróg oddechowych (płuc), powodując rozwój astmy 12. Roztocza kurzu uznawane są za jeden z najważniejszych czynników wyzwalających astmę, a wysokie poziomy ekspozycji na roztocza są istotnym czynnikiem w rozwoju astmy u dzieci 12.

Objawy ze strony oczu i skóry

Objawy oczne

Alergia na roztocza kurzu często powoduje objawy ze strony oczu, w tym:

  • Zaczerwienienie oczu 12
  • Swędzenie oczu 12
  • Łzawienie oczu 12
  • Obrzęk powiek 1
  • Uczucie gorąca w oczach 1

U osób z przewlekłą alergią na roztocza kurzu mogą wystąpić również opuchnięte, sine obszary pod oczami (tzw. „allergic shiners”) oraz skłonność do stałego pocierania nosa w górę, co może prowadzić do charakterystycznej poprzecznej bruzdy na nosie (tzw. „allergic crease” lub „dust mite salute”) 12. W rzadkich przypadkach, długotrwałe pocieranie oczu może prowadzić do stożka rogówki (keratoconus), czyli zmiany kształtu rogówki na przedniej powierzchni oka 1.

Objawy skórne

Alergia na roztocza kurzu może wywołać lub zaostrzyć objawy skórne, takie jak:

W przypadku zaostrzenia egzemy wywołanego przez roztocza kurzu, objawy mogą objawiać się jako:

  • Łuszcząca się, pokryta strupami wysypka w zgięciach łokci, kolan i pośladków, lub na szyi, nadgarstkach, nogach i kostkach 1
  • U dorosłych z alergią na roztocza kurzu objawy egzemy mogą występować na twarzy i szyi, za kostkami, kolanami, nadgarstkami, łokciami i w fałdach skóry, a także na rękach i wokół oczu 2

Chociaż roztocza kurzu nie gryzą ludzi, reakcja alergiczna na nie może powodować wysypkę podobną do atopowego zapalenia skóry – suchą, zaognioną, pokrytą strupami i swędzącą 12. W cięższych przypadkach, wysypka alergiczna na roztocza kurzu może objąć całe ciało 1.

Udowodniono, że ekspozycja na alergeny roztoczy kurzu może wywoływać lub zaostrzać objawy atopowego zapalenia skóry. Możliwe jest potwierdzenie tego związku poprzez testy płatkowe z ekstraktami roztoczy kurzu 1.

Objawy ogólnoustrojowe i wpływ na jakość życia

Objawy ogólnoustrojowe

Oprócz objawów ze strony układu oddechowego, oczu i skóry, alergia na roztocza kurzu może powodować również objawy ogólnoustrojowe:

  • Uczucie osłabienia i zmęczenia 12
  • Złe samopoczucie 1
  • Trudności z koncentracją w pracy lub szkole 12
  • Ból głowy i uczucie zatkanego nosa 12

W rzadkich przypadkach, u osób uczulonych na roztocza kurzu może dojść do reakcji krzyżowych prowadzących do rozwoju alergii na określone pokarmy, takie jak skorupiaki i mięczaki 1. Spożywanie pokarmów przygotowanych z mąki skażonej roztoczami może również wywoływać reakcje alergiczne, w tym anafilaksję 12.

Wpływ na sen i jakość życia

Alergia na roztocza kurzu może znacząco wpływać na jakość snu i codzienne funkcjonowanie:

  • Zaburzenia snu spowodowane niedrożnością nosa, kaszlem, świszczącym oddechem lub dusznością 12
  • Chrapanie i oddychanie przez usta 12
  • Niespokojny sen 1
  • Częste budzenie się 1

Przewlekła niedrożność nosa może prowadzić do problemów ze snem, co z kolei skutkuje sennością w ciągu dnia, drażliwością, trudnościami z koncentracją w szkole lub pracy oraz ogólnym obniżeniem jakości życia 12. Zaburzenia snu spowodowane alergią na roztocza kurzu mogą prowadzić również do zmęczenia, upośledzenia uczenia się i pamięci, a nawet depresji 2.

Objawy alergii na roztocza kurzu mogą utrudniać wykonywanie codziennych czynności, wpływając na pracę, naukę i życie społeczne 1. Szczególnie dotyczy to dzieci, u których trudności z oddychaniem i sen słabej jakości mogą prowadzić do problemów z koncentracją w szkole i pełnym uczestnictwem w codziennych zajęciach 1.

Progresja i powikłania alergii na roztocza kurzu

Marsz alergiczny

Alergia na roztocza kurzu typowo rozwija się w dzieciństwie lub okresie dojrzewania i zwykle nie ustępuje samoistnie 12. W przypadku długotrwałego alergicznego nieżytu nosa może dojść do zjawiska znanego jako „marsz alergiczny” (allergic march), kiedy alergia „schodzi” do dolnych dróg oddechowych (płuc), powodując rozwój astmy 12.

Przewlekła ekspozycja na alergeny roztoczy kurzu może również prowadzić do nadwrażliwości błon śluzowych dróg oddechowych, przez co nos może silniej reagować na inne czynniki drażniące, takie jak suche powietrze w ogrzewanych pomieszczeniach czy dym papierosowy 12.

Możliwe powikłania

Długotrwała ekspozycja na alergeny roztoczy kurzu u osób uczulonych może prowadzić do następujących powikłań:

  • Zapalenie zatok (sinusitis) 12
  • Rozwój astmy 12
  • Wywoływanie ostrych napadów astmatycznych 12
  • Atopowe zapalenie skóry 12
  • Przerost małżowin nosowych 1

Osoby z astmą, które są uczulone na roztocza kurzu, są narażone na zwiększone ryzyko napadów astmy 1. Pacjenci z astmą i alergią na roztocza kurzu mogą mieć trudności z kontrolowaniem objawów astmy 1.

U osób z egzemą kontakt z roztoczami kurzu może nasilać objawy skórne 1. Przewlekła ekspozycja na alergeny roztoczy może prowadzić również do rozwoju przewlekłych alergii 1.

Różnice w porównaniu z innymi alergiami

Alergia na roztocza kurzu różni się od innych rodzajów alergii pod kilkoma względami:

  • W przeciwieństwie do alergii sezonowych (np. na pyłki), objawy alergii na roztocza kurzu występują przez cały rok 12
  • Objawy alergii na roztocza kurzu są zwykle łagodniejsze niż w przypadku kataru siennego (alergii na pyłki), ale występują stale 12
  • Charakterystyczny jest szczególnie uciążliwy nocny i poranny niedrożny nos, powodujący zaburzenia snu 1
  • Objawy często nasilają się jesienią i zimą, podczas gdy alergie na pyłki są sezonowe 12

Objawy alergii na roztocza kurzu mogą być mylone z przeziębieniem, jednak utrzymują się dłużej niż 10 dni, co sugeruje ich alergiczne podłoże 1. Ponadto, w przeciwieństwie do przeziębienia, które zwykle ustępuje po 7-10 dniach, objawy alergii na roztocza kurzu utrzymują się przez długi czas i mogą nasilać się po ekspozycji na kurz 1.

Warto również zauważyć, że osoby z alergią na roztocza kurzu mogą doświadczać poprawy objawów podczas pobytu w suchym, ciepłym klimacie, gdzie liczba roztoczy jest mniejsza 1.

    In dust mite allergies, the symptoms arent caused by the dust itself. Instead, the allergy is triggered by certain substances that are mainly found in the droppings of dust mites. The tiny dropping particles stick to dust and spread in that way. […] People who have a dust mite allergy sneeze a lot, and have a runny or stuffy nose. If their symptoms are more severe, they might also feel weak and tired. Their eyes might water and itch, and they might have swollen eyelids. Asthma-like symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath may occur too. […] Dust mite allergies usually cause milder symptoms than hay fever (a pollen allergy) does. But they occur all year round, whereas hay fever is seasonal. The symptoms are typically worse at night and in the morning because dust mites tend to live in mattresses, pillows and bedding.

    In people allergic to dust mite, it is often not the mite itself but proteins in their droppings which cause the allergy symptoms. […] House dust mite allergy is very common and is associated with triggering or worsening symptoms of asthma, eczema, and perennial or chronic allergic rhinitis. […] The most common symptoms of a house dust mite allergy include sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, itchy nose, throat or mouth, postnasal drip, cough, red or watery eyes, fatigue, itchy or worsening eczema or asthma symptoms. Often symptoms can affect you all year round (this is called chronic) and so you may not realise you are allergic to house dust mites in your environment and have just put up with your symptoms.

[…] If you have a dust mite allergy, the first time you encounter dust mite proteins, your body responds by creating immunoglobulin E (IgE). IgE is antibodies that your immune system makes to attack allergens, even though these allergens might not be harmful. Once you encounter dust mite proteins again, your immune system has a greater response. This response causes allergy symptoms.

    The allergy becomes particularly troublesome at night or in the morning with symptoms such as a runny or congested nose. Other symptoms include sneezing and sometimes itchy, watery eyes. […] Constant exposure to allergens may lead to chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, which may in turn lead to nasal turbinate hypertrophy. This leaves patients unable to breath through their nose, and they then end up breathing through their mouth (which may lead to more frequent infections in the ear, nose and throat area). […] A hypersensitive reaction can also occur in the bronchial mucosa after some time, causing bronchial asthma. Symptoms include coughing (at night), difficulty breathing, and wheezing. […] In rare cases, the skin is affected (itching, redness and hives). A house dust mite allergy can also trigger an atopic dermatitis flare-up.

    Dust mite allergies typically first develop in childhood or puberty, and never go away again. If people have allergic rhinitis for many years, the allergy might move down into the lower airways (lungs) too, causing asthma. […] Severe symptoms may increase the risk of developing other medical conditions such as sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses). Allergic rhinitis often makes the mucous membranes that line the airways overly sensitive in general too. As a result, the nose may react more strongly to irritants like dry air in heated rooms and cigarette smoke.

    Like other allergens, house dust mite allergens can trigger rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma in allergic patients, exacerbate atopic dermatitis, and also lead to anaphylaxis when ingested orally. […] Compared to pollen, mite allergens trigger sleep disturbances in particular, which are responsible for daytime fatigue and reduced performance at school or at work. […] Among the nasal symptoms triggered by house dust mite allergy, especially nasal obstruction and sneezing besides runny nose, nasal itching and also conjunctival complaints with eye watering and itching in the eye are reported by patients. […] The risk of developing allergic asthma is higher for patients suffering from house dust mite-related allergic rhinitis than for patients with allergic rhinitis due to pollen allergy; asthma patients with house dust mite-related allergic rhinitis statistically have worse lung function and are more likely to experience asthma exacerbations than asthmatics without house dust mite-related allergic rhinitis.

    People often believe they are allergic to house dust. But, of the 20% of Australians suffering with allergies, a number are actually allergic to microscopic house dust mites. […] When people with house dust mite allergy inhale the allergens, they penetrate the mucous membranes of the airways and eyes. Their body recognises the allergens as a threat, releasing chemicals including one called histamine. […] This causes symptoms including a runny nose, an itchy nose, eyes and throat, sneezing, coughing and a feeling of mucus at the back of your throat (known as a post-nasal drip). […] People with this type of allergy usually mouth breathe, snore, rub their nose constantly (creating a nasal crease called the dust mite salute) and have dark shadows under their eyes. […] House dust mite allergy can also cause poor sleep, constant tiredness, reduced concentration at work or school and lower quality of life.
