Objectives  This study aimed to investigate the profile of sensitization to silkworm moth ( Bombyx mori ) and other 9 common inhalant allergens among patients with allergic diseases in southern China.    Methods  A total of 175 patients were tested for serum sIgE against silkworm moth in addition to combinations of other allergens:  Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus ,  Dermatophagoides farinae ,  Blomia tropicalis ,  Blattella germanica ,  Periplaneta americana , cat dander, dog dander,  Aspergillus fumigatus  and  Artemisia vulgaris  by using the ImmunoCAP system. Correlation between sensitization to silkworm moth and to the other allergens was analyzed.    Results  Of the 175 serum samples tested, 86 (49.14%) were positive for silkworm moth sIgE. With high concordance rates, these silkworm moth sensitized patients were concomitantly sensitized to  Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus  (94.34%),  Dermatophagoides farinae  (86.57%),  Blomia tropicalis  (93.33%),  Blattella germanica  (96.08%), and  Periplaneta americana  (79.41%). Moreover, there was a correlation in serum sIgE level between silkworm moth and  Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus  (r = 0.518),  Dermatophagoides farinae  (r = 0.702),  Blomia tropicalis  (r = 0.701),  Blattella germanica  (r = 0.878), and  Periplaneta americana  (r = 0.531) among patients co-sensitized to silkworm moth and each of these five allergens.    Conclusion  In southern Chinese patients with allergic diseases, we showed a high prevalence of sensitization to silkworm moth, and a co-sensitization between silkworm moth and other five common inhalant allergens. Further serum inhibition studies are warranted to verify whether cross-reactivity exists among these allergens.
