Abstract:
Exposure to house-dust mite allergens is a factor in the development of allergic symptoms in atopic patients. Several measures can be proposed to control indoor allergen levels, inducing a clinical benefit. The use of an air cleaner is one simple way of achieving this goal. We conducted a simulation trial in a proper room, to verify the usefulness of a domestic cleaner, based on mechanical air filtration, to reduce the levels of environmental allergens. We checked the presence of mite components by different methods (Aclotest and Der p 1 ELISA), in dust recovered before and after using the air cleaner. Our results indicate that this approach could be useful in significantly lowering the levels of mite allergens.
