@entity566 may be the source of a variety of clinical symptoms. With regard to indoor air, however, the subject will be limited to @entity566 . These are diseases which are caused and supported by allergens entering the @entity1 organism via the respiratory pathway. The fundamentals of the origin of @entity566 are briefly discussed as well as the antigen-antibody reaction and the differentiation between different @entity56 (Types I and II). In addition, the importance of repetitive infects of the upper respiratory tract for the occurrence of @entity566 of the respiratory system is pointed out. The most common @entity566 develop at the mucosae of the nose ( @entity2023 ) and of the bronchiale ( @entity56 bronchiale). Their symptomatology is discussed. Out of the allergologically interesting components of indoor air the following are to be considered primarily: house dust, components of house dust (house dust mite, trogoderma angustum, tenebrio molitor), epithelia of animals, animal feeds, mildew and occupational substances. Unspecific irritants (chimico-physical irritations) which are not acting as allergens, have to be clearly separated from these most frequent allergens. As a possibility of treatment for the therapeutist and the @entity1 , there is the allergen prophylaxis, i.e. an extensive sanitation of the @entity1 's environment including elimination of the allergens and, in addition, an amelioration of the quality of the air with regard to unspecific irritants. To conclude, some socio-medical aspects of @entity1576 are discussed.
