Intralymphatic Immunotherapy (ILIT) with both grass and birch allergen- a randomized controlled trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Allergen specific immunotherapy is an effective treatment of allergic rhinitis. It is most commonly administered as repeated subcutaneous injections or as a daily sublingual tablet during 3-5 years. In order to shorten the treatment duration previous studies have evaluated the use of intralymphatic injections (ILIT) with promising results. This study assesses safety and efficacy of ILIT with two allergens given simultaneously.

BACKGROUND Allergen-specific immunotherapy represents the only disease-modifying treatment for allergic diseases. We and others have previously demonstrated that intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT), a less time-consuming alternative to conventional subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), is safe and effective. However, this has recently been disputed. The aim of this study was therefore to expand ou...

BACKGROUND Allergen Immunotherapy is a promising treatment of allergy. Seven patients with rhinoconjunctivitis to grass allergen were treated with intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) to explore whether this treatment could be performed. Effect of treatment was assessed as change in symptom medication score, response in skin prick test and nasal allergen provocation. ILIT deposits allergen in an...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW IgE-mediated allergy can be treated by subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT). However, the percentage of allergic patients undergoing SCIT is low, mainly due to the long duration of the therapy and the risk of severe systemic allergic reactions associated with the allergen administration. Typically, SCIT requires dozens of subcutaneous allergen injections that st...

Clinical trials of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) have been performed to overcome the limitations of long-term therapy and the local or systemic hypersensitivity reactions in conventional allergen-specific immunotherapy, including subcutaneous or sublingual immunotherapy. Additionally, several animal studies of ILIT have been conducted in the form of translational or veterinary research. W...
متن کاملIntralymphatic allergen administration renders specific immunotherapy faster and safer: a randomized controlled trial.
The only causative treatment for IgE-mediated allergies is allergen-specific immunotherapy. However, fewer than 5% of allergy patients receive immunotherapy because of its long duration and risk of allergic side effects. We aimed at enhancing s.c. immunotherapy by direct administration of allergen into s.c. lymph nodes. The objective was to evaluate safety and efficacy compared with conventiona...
