Background: Rapid urbanization combined with rural migration to urban areas in southern Vietnam could be risk factors for allergen sensitization, contributing to chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of mite sensitization and its relation to house dust characteristics among rural and urban native and migrating populations with CRD. Methods: Rural (n = 19) and urban (n = 46) dwellings were defined on the basis of a home typology. Controls were western Belgian houses (n = 14). Besides the house characteristics, both endotoxin and mite allergens were measured in the settled dusts. The sensitization to mite allergens was defined by positive skin prick test (SPT) and concentration of specific IgE (sIgE)≥ 0.7 U/mL. The prevalence of mite sensitization was evaluated among 610 patients with CRD and compared according to both their home types and places of birth and residences. Results: The concentration of endotoxin (but not mite allergen) was higher in rural compared to urban dusts (440 (95%CI: 314–566) versus 170 (95%CI: 115–226) EU/mg; p |
