Effects of Allergen Specific Immunotherapy on the Allergens Excluded from the Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Specific immunotherapy (SIT) is an effective treatment modality for allergic diseases when properly implemented. Standard allergen extracts have been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma. It has been shown in many studies that immunotherapy is the only therapeutic approach that may alter the natural course of allergic diseases if administered in appropriate dosages and durations (1-10). In this study, we tried to find out an answer for the question whether allergen specific immunotherapy is truly specific for allergens? The data verified in our study may guide to new opinions on either the clinical effects or probable mechanisms of immunotherapy.
