Conventional non-surgical therapy methods
Hyposensitization or desensitization (synonyms: specific immunotherapy (SIT), allergy vaccination): It is particularly suitable for children and young adults, as the effectiveness is best here. Therapy is indicated (indicated) for severe allergy that cannot be controlled with allergen abstinence or pharmacotherapy (e.g., antihistamines).
In patients with IgE-mediated Alt a 1 sensitization (with the mold Alternaria alternata) and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (allergic inflammation of the nose and conjunctiva of the eye) with or without controlled asthma, a double-blind and placebo-controlled study showed that administration of 0.37 μg Alt a 1 per dose (= subcutaneous immunotherapy) at approximately 1-month intervals for 1 year, was effective and safe: parallel to treatment, there was improvement in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms; furthermore, skin reactivity decreased and serum IgG4 levels increased.
