The NCICAS study further observed that significantly more asthmatic children were allergic to mice (assessed by skin prick test) when mouse allergen levels in house dust were > 1.
The NCICAS documented the association between cockroach allergen exposure and symptoms in sensitized children (6), and data from the NCICAS and elsewhere (6,9,14,15) suggest that most inner-city children with asthma are sensitized and exposed to multiple indoor allergens (16) and highly exposed, to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).
This population, in contrast to the NCICAS study, was largely white (74%), better educated (78% with [greater than or equal to] a college education), had a higher income (70% [greater than or equal to] $50,000/year), and lived in a heavily populated urban area in primarily multifamily dwellings.
