The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of positive skin prick test (SPT) results to house dust mite (HDM) allergens - perennial inhalant allergens. Material and methods: The study was carried out on 2197 patients of either sex aged 20 - 45 (mean age 32.4 ± 0.1 years). All patients enrolled in this study were allergic to house dust mites. Results: In all patients the following clinical manifestations were found: positive skin (SPT) tests to house dust mite (HDM) allergens. The following allergens were the most common cause of allergic rhinitis in patients admitted to the Clinic of Allergology in the period 1995-2002: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, Acarus siro, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Tyrophagus putrescentiae.

The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between the level of reactivity in conjunctival provocation test and conjunctival symptoms that develop during the pollination season in grass allergic patients. Conjunctival provocation test with grass pollen allergens was performed in 22 patients suffering from pollinosis. During grass pollination season all patients monitored their symptoms with Symptoms Score Cards. A parallel measurement of the level of grass pollen count was carried out on a daily basis by volumetric method. The mean grass pollen count which triggered the reaction in individual patients depended on the results of conjunctival provocation test. The lowest pollen count level was observed in cases of patients with positive conjunctival provocation test at low allergen extract concentration of 160 and 500 BU/ml, whereas the highest count in cases of 1,600 BU/ml. The difference between the results was found to be statistically significant. A threshold grass pollen concentration for conjunctival symptoms was established at the level of 22 grains/m3. We conclude that the patients with pollinosis and high reactivity in conjunctival provocation test develop conjunctival symptoms earlier during grass pollination season than the patients who are characterised by lower reactivity during conjunctival provocation test.
