Abstract
Although elevated serum IgE isaccepted asa sign ofatopy, high total IgE level may accompany with non-allergic asthma and contribute to pathogenesis and severity of the disease independently from atopy. In this case report, we present patient of us whose allergy skin tests and specific IgEs were negative, who was started omalizumab treatment following obtaining weak positivity against Dermatofagoides pteronysinus in intradermal tests repetaed with one year interval and who significantly benefited from treatment.
