Allergen-specific IgE as a biomarker of exposure plus sensitization in inner-city adolescents with asthma.

abstract：:Indoor allergens are likely to be direct environmental causes of asthma and mite exposure, and sensitization is the most important environmental risk factor for childhood asthma in temperate zones. Analagous to occupational asthma, allergen avoidance in asthmatic children sensitized and exposed to mite allergens is as...
