Allergen-specific immunotherapy is widely used for allergic rhinitis and asthma treatment worldwide. This study explored the efficacy and safety of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with the extracts of Dermatophagoides Farinae (D. farinae Drops) on house dust mites (HDM)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD). 239 patients with HDM-induced AD were recruited and exposure to a multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trials for 36 weeks, which were randomly divided into placebo and sublingual D. farinae Drops groups (high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose), respectively. Statistical analysis was performed in three groups: Full Analysis Set, Per Protocol Set and Safety Set. 48 cases have withdrawn from the study before the end of study. As primary outcomes, significant decreases in scoring atopic dermatitis and total medication score were showed in medium-dose and high-dose D. farinae Drops groups. In the sixth visit, the skin lesion area showed a statistically significant difference between high-dose/medium-dose D. farinae Drops group and placebo group (p < .05). Most adverse events are slight, and no life-threatening adverse drug reaction happened. Our research demonstrates the beneficial effect of SLIT with high or medium dose D. farinae Drops on AD, and the treatment was well tolerated.

Spider bites are uncommon medical events, since there are limited number of spiders worldwide with fangs strong enough to pierce human skin, and most spiders bite humans only as a final defense when being crushed between skin and another object. Thus, most lesions attributed to spider bites are caused by some other etiology. The spiders that can cause medically significant bites include widow and false widow spiders (worldwide), recluse spiders (mostly North and South America), Australian funnel web spiders (eastern coastal Australia) and Phoneutria spiders (Brazil). Acute spider bites most commonly result in a solitary papule, pustule, or wheal. Systemic symptoms can accompany envenomation of widow; funnel web, and Phoneutria spiders, and less often, those of recluse spiders.
