Lepidoglyphus destructor is a storage mite found in grain stocks, cereals, oilseed seeds, dried fruits, hay, straw, and furniture. Contact or inhalation of contaminated material can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Lepidoglyphus destructor is an important allergen causing IgE-mediated allergic reactions such as rhinoconjunctivitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. These mites are commonly found in food products, grain storage facilities, as well as in household dust, mattresses, and carpets. Sensitization to this mite is associated with an increased risk of nasal allergy and asthma. Detecting IgE levels to L. destructor allergens aids in diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy selection for allergic diseases.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions related to sensitization to storage mites.
  • Assessment of sensitization level and risk of developing allergic reactions.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
  • Assessment of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
  • Evaluation of immune system status.

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay, ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence)) – quantitative determination.
