Comparative Study Controlled Clinical TrialSpecific immunotherapy is effective in the prevention of new sensitivities.
Allergen specific immunotherapy is the only specific and curative approach in the treatment of IgE-mediated allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis. The safety and clinical efficacy of this treatment are well documented but data on the prevention of new sensitizations remain scarce. ⋯ Our data demonstrate that administration of specific immunotherapy in allergic patients significantly reduced symptoms and the development of new sensitivities.
