  1. RCSS: Total rhinoconjuntivitis symptom score; DP: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; RP: responder patients; NRP: Non responder patients; CG: Control group.
  2. Data are represented as medians and range. Statistical analysis for two related samples were carried out by Wilcoxon test, values p ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant.
