Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the frequency of HLA-DR and DQ antigens in Brazilian asthmatic children with skin-test and RAST positivity to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. the comparison of HLA-DR and DQ antigenic frequencies between patients (n = 30) and controls disclosed a significantly higher HLA-DQ2 frequency in the patients (60 % versus 34 %, p = 0.013; R.R. = 2.8).
