摘要

With the advances in medical technology, we are experiencing changes in disease spectrum or disease manifestations. Based on the "hygiene theory", allergy is likely in part related to urbanisation. Children in Amazon forest, rural area of Beijing, and the farmland of Netherlands seldom have asthma, eczema or allergic rhinitis as compare to their counterparts living in the city ( Prof. Le Sou?lf PL, Elaine Field Lecture 2007 ). The essence of this theory is that early exposure to common pathogens will switch on the "T-helper 1 lymphocytes" response which targets at foreign invaders. While delay exposure to these pathogens will switch on the "T-helper 2 lymphocytes" response which is usually associated with allergic reaction. Now we know that such T-helper cells polarisation is consists of 5 different types and each of them have distinct function, including either immuno-stimulatory (i.e. Th-1, Th-2 or Th17) or immuno-tolerant (i.e. T-reg) in nature. In this issue, the article by Kim HH, et al. is supporting this theory. House dust mite is virtually present in all modern household and in some countries, the rise in the house dust mites in winter season is caused by the use of warmer and decrease in air ventilation within the room due to the cold weather. The association of elevated house dust mite specific IgE levels in those presenting with asthma suggests house dust mite sensitisation as a risk factor for their exacerbation in winter. We all noticed that the prevalence of allergic illnesses has been on a rising trends and how can we prevent it from occurring will be our next challenge.
