Sažetak
Hypersensitivity to D. pteronyssinus was studied in four librarians with chronic obstructive lung disease. Medical histories, clinical data and the results of the diagnostic in vitro and in vivo tests are presented. The subjects had elevated total IgE and specific IgE antibodies. Three subjects had type I hypersensitivity and one subject type III. Type III hypersensitivity (Arthus' reaction) was confirmed by double diffusion-in-gel determination of serum precipitins to D. pteronyssinus. The author suggests that to detect type III hypersensitivity to D. pteronyssinus both the in vitro and in vivo allergological tests (RIST, RAST, double immunodiffusion test) be used in order to complement a clinical examination and lung function tests.
