“…The age of the animal is a limitation for both kinds of tests as they should not be carried out in animals younger than 1 year old. Moreover, despite there being studies proving the lack of influence of anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory medicaments on the level of the IgE type antibodies, Wassom and Grieve (1998) make a reference to the unpublished studies of de Weck who, however, expresses his doubts and firmly negates the lack of influence of glucocorticoid, which is confirmed by other studies Hillier 2001, Olivry andSaridomichelakis 2013).…”

“…Detailed medical interview was conducted and general and dermatological test were performed. CADESI-03 (Olivry et al 2001, Olivry et al 2008) was used to assess the advancement of skin changes. Tests aiming at elimination of the possible presence of ectoparasites, yeast (Malassezia spp.)…”

“…The criteria created by Favrot (Favrot et al 2010) are presently considered as helpful in the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in dogs. Intradermal skin tests and serological screening test IgE carried out by means of Fc ε RIα receptor method enable identification of the allergens evoking the allergic reaction Hillier 2001, Griffin and. The tests had proven that dust mites of the Dermatophagoides type are the most frequently identified allergens in dogs with atopic dermatitis .…”

“…The tests had proven that dust mites of the Dermatophagoides type are the most frequently identified allergens in dogs with atopic dermatitis . Specific immunotherapy requires identification of allergens and aims at elimination or reduction of the intensity of clinical symptoms after contact with them (Bousquet et al 1998, Olivry et al 2001). Intradermal tests are described in the literature as more sensitive and specific than serological tests and are considered a gold standard .…”

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.

“…A recent study indicates that Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is more important than D. farinae (Jackson et al, 2005), but until that study D. farinae had been identified as the most important mite allergen for dogs (Mueller et al, 2000;Nuttall et al, 2006). Human dander, however, is also a common allergen for pets (Olivry et al, 2001). If shared environmental factors could contribute to the manifestation of allergies, an association of the frequencies of allergies in humans and their pets might be hypothesised.…”

The study of allergies in creatures living together without being relatives can help us understand the impact of environmental influences. We tested the association of allergies in humans and their pets. A nested unmatched case-control study was performed in a random sample of 4261 inhabitants, aged 25-74 years, of the City of Augsburg, Germany and two adjacent counties. Using standardised computer-assisted face-to-face interviews, we determined and compared the prevalence of doctor-diagnosed atopic diseases (hay fever, asthma, atopic dermatitis) in the study subjects and veterinarian-diagnosed allergies in their pets. Pets were kept in 48.0% of the households (cats 26.1%, dogs 20.1%, rodents 9.7%) and a veterinarian had diagnosed an allergy in 3.9% (cats 3.3%, dogs 4.7%, rodents 1.2%). Atopic diseases were diagnosed in 20.2% of the study subjects (asthma 6.1%, hay fever 13.7%, atopic dermatitis 5.1%). After adjustment for age, sex, parental predisposition and social status a significant association between hay fever in the study subjects and allergies in their pets was observed [odds ratio (OR) 1.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-2.97]. This association was more pronounced when investigating dogs only (OR 2.76,) where in addition an association with the overall prevalence of atopic diseases in the study subjects reached significance (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.16-4.58). We conclude that there is indication for a concomitant occurrence of allergies in humans and their pets. Shared environmental factors are the most likely explanation.
