| Correlation analysis of sensitization based on the results of skin prick tests |
Cockroach allergy is a common trigger of allergic reactions and may be a cause or a result of cross-reactions with other allergens. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of sensitization to arthropod allergens in perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) patients with positive skin prick test to cockroach. A group of PAR patients with positive skin prick test (SPT) result with cockroach extract (Blattella germanica) was selected. In addition to SPTs for other inhalant allergens, such as house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae), birch, grass, mugwort, cat, dog, and Alternaria, participants underwent the ALEX2 test which allowed for detection of sensitization to cockroach-specific and cross-reacting molecules.
