Dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae (d2)0061
Dermatophagoides farinae is a dust mite that is one of the most active allergenic components of household dust. It lives in beds and bedding, feeding on epidermal flakes. This mite can cause allergic reactions due to sensitization of the body to mites and their metabolites.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) – quantitative determination of sensitization level.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions.
- Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
- Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen exposure elimination.
- Assessment of immune system status.
- Blood should be drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
- Drinking plain still water is allowed.
- Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
- For children under 1 year – do not feed 30-40 minutes before the test; for children 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.
Mite allergens can cause various allergic symptoms: asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, conjunctivitis, anaphylaxis, and urticaria. Sensitization to mites is associated with the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis, which affect quality of life, productivity, and sleep. It is especially important to diagnose mite allergy in patients with atopic dermatitis, as impaired skin barrier function contributes to increased sensitization.
