This test is useful when a dust mite allergy is suspected and to identify the specific molecule that has previously caused a positive result in the associated allergen extract test.
Der p 10 is a tropomyosin found in the body (muscles) of house dust mites, and its prevalence does not exceed 20% among patients sensitised to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Symptoms associated with an allergy to this molecule mainly include allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and coughing due to an itchy throat. In some cases, the allergy may cause skin symptoms and lead to bronchial asthma.
Classified as a pan-allergen, Der p 10 can cause cross-reactions with the tropomyosins found in shellfish (shrimp, crab, lobster) and molluscs (mussels, oysters, scallops, snails, squid, cuttlefish, octopus).
