Abstract

Methods We analyzed 40 patients with diagnosis of moderate/ severe AD based on the SCORAD and allergological work-up, under follow-up in the Allergy Department of our Hospital between 2012 to 2014. The cluster SCIT has been indicated based on the dust mite specific-IgE (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and/or Blomia tropicalis) and clinical relevance of these allergens. To access the quality of life of patients and their families, we used specific questionnaires previously validated to Brazilian Portuguese, the Infant’s Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQoL) and Dermatitis Family Impact Questionnaire (DFI), and applied before and after 12 months of the use of SCIT. The Quol index scores were evaluated from 0 (best index of Quol) to 32 (worse index of Quol).
