New publication will provide eczema information
05 Aug 2009
Eczema patients could benefit from the publication of a new book on house dust mite allergies.
Dr Matt Colloff, of the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, has attempted to explain in Dust Mites the measures that can be taken to reduce their numbers around the house.
Information is included on mite control, how to prevent allergies and allergen biochemistry.
Dr Colloff said that this is the "first time" that this information has been put into one place.
"This is the first book to comprehensively cover all aspects of the mites, which can cause allergic responses ranging from asthma and hay fever to eczema," he commented.
House dust mites range from 0.25mm and 0.5mm in length and feed on tiny dust particles such as flakes of human skin. They are usually found in beds, clothing, carpets and curtains.
Recent guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, UK, said there was "conflicting data on the effectiveness of using house dust mite avoidance strategies" in eczema patients.
