Abstract
Forty-two dust samples from the homes of patients having positive mite skin tests were tested by both monoclonal antibody and Acarex techniques. A Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.85 ( p = 0.0001) was found. The Acarex test is simple to use and is much less expensive than the monoclonal antibody method. The use of either method may enhance patient compliance with mite-control instructions and may prove crucial to the effective use of miticides in infested homes.
