In the present study the investigators assay house dust mites (HDMs) IgE in sera of allergic rhinitis patients (AR) using immunoblotting, chemiluminescence, and ImmunoCAP assays to compare between the accuracy of both immunoblotting and chemiluminescence assays, and ImmunoCAP as gold standard.
All allergic rhinitits patients who were monosensitized to mixed HDMs, identified by SPT, will be subjected to complete history taking and assessment of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, performance of skin prick test and measurement of total serum IgE, measurement of specific IgE by Chemiluminescence Immunoassa, immunoblot assay and ImmunoCAPâ„¢ Phadiatopâ„¢. The patients will be followed-up for 6 months.

| Sensitization to House dust mites | Diagnostic Test | The SPT is performed at the time of diagnosis and after six-months follow-up period. Serum specific IgE is measured by immunoblotting, chemiluminescence, and ImmunoCAP assays |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction of serum specific IgE | Improvement of symptoms and signs of allergy | 6 months from diagnosis to end of Follow-up period |
| Conversion of SPT to negative | Improvement of symptoms and signs of allergy | 6 months from diagnosis to end of Follow-up period |
