The impact of living environment on the cellular immunity of children with allergic rhinitis

A study has been conducted to investigate how the living environment affected children’s cell immunity. It was shown that allergic rhinitis is more common in children living in unfavorable conditions or exposed to house dust containing high concentrations of Dermatophagoides pteronissinus mites. The subjects demonstrated a decrease in subpopulations of T-lymphocytes, which appeared to be functionally suppressed.
