In the first comprehensive adult allergy cohort study in Singapore, scientists and clinicians from A*STAR's Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that the primary cause of respiratory allergies in Singapore is the exposure to the house dust mite. The results carry potential implications in the management of asthma and allergic rhinitis in tropical urban environments. The findings of the study were published as open access in the latest issue of the journal Allergy.
