Allergy = a feature and NOT

a disease !

= …

the ability to produce specific antibodies (IgE) to different

substances of the environment (inhalant and food allergens)…

IgE

inflammation

House Dust Mites in Singapore

• High temp and humidity provides perfect environment for HDMs

• High counts (> 100 mites/g dust) of HDM are isolated in Singapore

• A wide variety of mite species is isolated other than Dermatophagoides.

• Blomia tropicalis is predominant.
