Efficiacy of injection specific immunotherapy for grass pollen seasonal allergic rhinitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Allergy to pollen grass causes significant morbidity in Poland. Allergic rhinitis is a common condition which, at its most severe, can significantly impair quality of life despite treatment with antihistamines and topical nasal corticosteroids. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiacy of injection specific immunotherapy (SIT) mixture grass pollen allergoide at 20 000 AUM/ml for seasonal allegic rhinitis.

BACKGROUND Subcutaneous immunotherapy with high dose grass pollen (typically microgram quantities) was first described over 100 years ago. This treatment suppresses allergen-induced cutaneous late responses, with lesser effects on early responses. We previously reported that repeated 2-weekly intradermal injections of grass pollen - containing approximately 7 ng of major allergen Phl p 5 - led ...

Background Seasonal allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms are dependent on pollen exposure and may impact the observed treatment effect of drugs used to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis. We conducted a post-hoc analysis to investigate the impact of pollen exposure on the overall magnitude of the recorded immunotherapy treatment effect across multiple seasons and trials of Timothy grass...

RATIONALE Nasal allergen provocations may be useful in investigating the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis and effects of treatments. OBJECTIVE To use grass pollen nasal allergen challenge (NAC) to investigate the effects of allergen immunotherapy in a cross-sectional study. METHODS We studied nasal and cutaneous responses in untreated subjects with seasonal grass-pollen allergic rhiniti...
متن کاملRecurrence of eosinophilic oesophagitis with subcutaneous grass pollen immunotherapy.
Case reports have described an association between oral food/aeroallergen immunotherapy with the development of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE). The underlying mechanism of this is poorly understood, as is the role that both food/aeroallergen sensitisation plays in the pathogenesis of EoE. Specific immunotherapy has a long-standing history of use in the management of moderate/severe seasonal al...
