69 patients with atopic dermatitis, aged 16-42 years, were examined. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 consisted of patients with atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis (25 patients), group 2 consisted of patients without the respiratory syndrome (44 patients). Scarification skin tests made it possible to find out the essential difference in the sensitivity of the examinees in these two groups. In group 1 the prevalence of sensitization to house-dust mites in 23 patients (92%) with monosensitization in 8 patients (32% of the group) was observed. In group 2 sensitivity of house-dust mites was lower: it was registered in 16 patients (36%) with monosensitization in 2 patients (4% of the group). The presence of cross-sensitivity between mite allergens and Candida albicans was established. In accordance with the results of scarification skin tests, treatment included the use of antihistamine preparations, antipruritic remedies and hormonal ointments as well as the elimination of sensitizing allergens. Improvement was registered in 21 patients.
