“…A previous study evaluating skin test reactivity of dust mites from two manufacturers found significant correlation and agreement when comparing batches of allergens from different manufacturers . Although the present study also had agreement with subjective scoring and objective measurements for D. farinae between manufacturers, significant differences in subjective scoring and objective measurements for Alternaria , cat dander and P. pretense were discovered between manufacturers.…”

“…Before this can be done, it is necessary to determine the ITC for similar allergenic extracts from different manufacturers. With the exception of two previous studies evaluating the response to intradermal dust mite allergens from multiple manufacturers in clinically nonallergic dogs, there is a lack of ITC studies evaluating a variety of allergenic extracts from multiple manufacturers. For this reason, and the fact that the exact ITC for many allergens is unknown, further evaluation of ITCs is warranted.…”

“…However, there may be significant differences when allergens are considered separately. The tests described in the literature show that a high percent of healthy dogs (about 20%) present detectable titres of antibodies against at least one species of mites, especially against D. farine, although they are lower than those found in atopic dogs (Koebrich et al 2012). It must be pointed out, however, that the results of ELISA test should be assessed together with the presence of clinical symptoms of atopic dermatitis, the result itself being not sufficient.…”

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most frequent allergic diseases in dogs. There are many methods of treating its symptoms but specific immunotherapy has recently gained high popularity. Before the application of specific immunotherapy, it is necessary to identify the allergens provoking the reaction of hypersensitivity in the selected animal. This raises a question about the method of allergen identification the medical practitioner decides to use in order to obtain the most credible result. The authors of the present study decided to compare the results of intradermal allergic tests and the results of an IgE screening test carried out using the Fc ε RIα receptor method. The aim of the study was to compare the results of both tests directed to dust and storage mites. The study proves that in case of the IgE screening tests (for a group of allergens), the sensitivity is quite high (85 to 90.69%) but the specificity of these tests is insufficient (25 to 50%). In case of antibodies for the selected mites the sensitivity and specificity was too low (65.1 to 89.4% for the sensitivity, with only 14.2 to 33.3% for the specificity). Only in case of D. petronyssinus the results were higher with the sensitivity calculated at 65.1% and the specificity at 80%. The IgE screening test carried out using the Fc ε RIα receptor method is reliable only in case of screening test for mites and the intradermal allergic test remains the gold standard for allergy testing.

“…De fato, estudos que avaliam a resposta dos cães ao desafio do alergênio epicutâneo demonstraram inflamação associada ao alérgeno apenas aos itens aos quais os pacientes já tinham IgE específica11 . No entanto, nem níveis de IgE totais nem alérgenos são consistentes para prever o desenvolvimento de doença clínica em pacientes sensibilizados12,13 . Esses achados demonstram a necessidade absoluta de incluir informações clínicas e história na interpretação de qualquer teste específico para alérgenos.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to focusing on pathogenesis, clinical and histological signs, diagnosis and treatment of canine atopic dermatitis (AD). Findings of the studies used in this review contributed to the current knowledge about the disease and allowed the discussion of diagnostic criteria, and treatment. Results: The pathogenesis diagnostic and treatment have been updated. The management of AD should involve the elimination of, the ethiology, bathing with mild shampoos, and controlling pruritus and skin lesions with interventions that include topical and/or oral glucocorticoids or oclacitinib. For chronic canine AD, the management should include the identification and avoidance of flare factors, as well as ensuring that there is adequate skin and coat hygiene and care; this might include more frequent bathing and possibly increasing essential fatty acid intake. The medications currently most effective in reducing chronic pruritus and skin lesions are topical and oral glucocorticoids, oral ciclosporin, oral oclacitinib, and, where available, injectable recombinant interferons. Allergen-specific immunotherapy and proactive intermittent topical glucocorticoid applications are the only interventions likely to prevent or delay the recurrence of flares of AD. Conclusions: A better definition of the clinical appearance and histopathology of canine AD are available. New sets of diagnostic criteria have been developed, and additional breed-associated differences in phenotypes have been demonstrated. Importantly advances in treatment are described and vary between dogs and, for the same dog, between times when the disease is at different stages.

Intradermal and serological testing for mites in healthy beagle dogs

Abstract: Our results suggest that dogs that have IDT reactions and positive serology are asymptomatically sensitized, while dogs that react at higher allergen concentrations, but have negative serology, do so as a result of irritant reactions.
