Sensitization to local dust-mite fauna in Singapore.

abstract：:A common feature of environmental irritants is their ability to cause local inflammation which could alter airway function. The principal targets of such injury are the epithelial cells lining the airway passages and the lower respiratory gas-exchange areas. While host atopy is a recognized risk factor for airway infl...
