Cockroach Allergens: Exposure Risk and Health Effects

摘要: A review of cockroach allergen and its role in allergic disease is presented. Relationships among exposure, sensitization, are described, prevalence exposure risk characterized, research on reducing exposures discussed. Studies have demonstrated that the combination sensitization to allergens associated with asthma morbidity, some concluded levels homes may be one strongest factors predictive morbidity children. Other has found detectable most United States many other regions. The particularly high urban areas low-income settings, but not limited these environments as studies suburban rural well. Practical measures reduce environmental had mixed success; achieved reductions populations, a corresponding, sustained reduction exposure. However, few through sophisticated eradication measures.
