Abstract in Portuguese
INTRODUÇÃO: A dermatite atópica é uma doença inflamatória crônica da pele que possui alta prevalência e etiopatogenia multifatorial. Os ácaros são alguns dos desencadeadores das crises desta enfermidade. OBJETIVO: avaliar a freqüência de positividade ao teste de contato, utilizando extratos do ácaro Aleuroglyphus ovatus em doentes com dermatite atópica, comparando-a à dos doentes portadores de alergia respiratória e à dos indivíduos sem atopia. MÉTODOS: Cento e vinte e quatro indivíduos (48 doentes com dermatite atópica, 47 com alergia respiratória e 29 sem atopia) foram avaliados através do teste de contato contendo extrato de Aleuroglyphus ovatus nas concentrações de 0,1%, 0,5%, 1,0%, 1,5%, 2,0%. O teste de puntura com leitura imediata (“prick test") e a dosagem da IgE sérica também foram avaliados. RESULTADOS: seis doentes com dermatite atópica, 4 com alergia respiratória e 1 indivíduo sem atopia responderam positivamente ao teste de contato alérgico com Aleuroglyphus ovatus. Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos estudados. CONCLUSÃO: O Aleuroglyphus ovatus possui papel relativo na elicitação das crises de dermatite atópica, podendo o teste de contato alérgico com Aleuroglyphus ovatus ser usado em caso de dúvida no diagnóstico etiológico.

Abstract in English
INTRODUCTION: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the skin with high prevalence and complex etiopathogenesis. Mites are known to cause flares of this disease. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the epicutaneous test response with Aleuroglyphus ovatus antigen in patients with atopic dermatitis. METHODS: One hundred and twenty four subjects were patch tested with Aleuroglyphus ovatus antigen in concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%. Forty eight patients with atopic dermatitis, 47 with respiratory allergy and 29 healthy subjects were studied. Prick test and total serum IgE were also evaluated. RESULTS: six patients with atopic dermatitis, 4 with respiratory allergy and 1 healthy subject had positive responses to Aleuroglyphus ovatus atopy patch test. No statistical differences among the studied groups were found. CONCLUSION: This mite must have a relative role in the atopic dermatitis flares and Aleuroglyphus ovatus atopy patch test should be reserved for etiopathogenic uncertainties cases.
