o stop the relapse of severe eczema of long lasting atopic
dermatitis (AD), the investigation of mite fauna in the
patients’ homes is essential. When the mite number of more
than 10 places in the homes, it is reduced to less than 50/

/20 seconds aspiration by 320W vacuum cleaner, actual mite
number 10 cm 10 cm area becomes less than 1 mite, and this
is the threshold lower than provoking and maintaining eczema.
This theory was based on the fact that crashed three live mites
were necessary to produce clear positive reactions by patch
testing, and only one mite was not enough to provoke eczema.
Double blind clinical test proved this fact, using methylene
blue agar (MBA) method to count the mite numbers of
macroscopically invisible mites in the houses. The introduction
of mite-free-mattress, heater-flooring, removal of carpets etc.
has been effective to decrease themite number to less than 50/

. Photographs and statistics of the remarkable effects of mite
elimination on severe AD cases are demonstrated..
