Results of atopy patch tests with house dust mites in adults with ‘intrinsic’ and ‘extrinsic’ atopic dermatitis

Abstract: APT positivity is more frequent in both 'extrinsic' and 'intrinsic' AD than in unaffected subjects. Other studies are needed to confirm our data and to explain why the APT is positive in the 'intrinsic' form.

“…Recently, Seidenari et al [32 ]have observed positive responses to mite patch tests also in subjects with respiratory atopy and nonatopic subjects without AD, but with a frequency and intensity significantly lower compared to AD patients. In the present work, we have detected a rate of positivity in our patients with AD roughly comparable to rates observed in AD patients by other authors and by us in the past, when the same allergen extracts were employed [11, 13, 19, 20, 23, 24, 32], and we have confirmed in agreement with Seidenari et al [32] that the APT is positive also in AWE and NA subjects, with a frequency significantly lower than in AD patients. Moreover, the evaluation of reading scores confirmed a significant difference of intensity in APT responses in AD patients.…”

“…No positive APT responses to aeroallergens in patients with respiratory atopy or controls were detected by Darsow et al [3]. On the contrary, rates of positivities ranging from 5 to 40% in AWE [5, 6, 8, 11, 18, 24] and healthy subjects [6, 8, 9,11,12,13,18,19,20,22,23,24] were reported in the past by other authors. Recently, Seidenari et al [32 ]have observed positive responses to mite patch tests also in subjects with respiratory atopy and nonatopic subjects without AD, but with a frequency and intensity significantly lower compared to AD patients.…”

“…A number of studies evaluated how common such patients are, with different observations. In one study the rate of positive APT in nonatopic patients was 23% (40), while in another study comparing AEDS patients with extrinsic and intrinsic forms, the rate of positive APT was 47.4% and 66.6%, respectively (41). In a European multicenter study, which included 314 patients with AEDS, the frequency of clear-cut positive APT reactions ranged from 39% with dust mites to 9% with celery.…”
