Abstract

The importance of evaluation of allergens in patients of asthma was discussed. When the causative allergens were clarified, the patients can be subjected to the fundamental therapy, such as elimination of the causative allergens from environment and the specific hyposensitization. In addition to candida and house dust, which are the most popular allergens in Japan, the author verified that moth and butterfly are as popular allergens as candida and house dust in patients with bronchial asthma and presented the typical case whose severe asthma attack was subsided by the treatment of hyposensitization with moth allergen.
