Abstract :

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is not easy to cure when it is severe and exacerbation occurs frequently. Evidence of its main causation has been accumulated that more than 70% is due to house dust mite (HDM) allergy, based on the results of IgE radioallergosorbent test (RAST), patch test of HDM, mite fauna investigation of patients� homes and finally, the remarkable effect of the elimination of HDM, i.e., environmental improvement. Historically important data which has not been known outside of Japan, recent results of environmental improvement are reported, and the recognition of HDM allergy as well as action of environmental improvement are considered as important for the treatment of severe and intractable cases of AD.
