Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Subcutaneous immunotherapy is recognized as a cornerstone in the management of allergic respiratory disease in patients who are properly characterized with allergy and with allergic rhinoconjunctivis and/or well-controlled asthma, and who are willing to adhere to the rigorous treatment program. A key tenet is that it affords the opportunity to effect long-term clinical remission through its disease-modifying properties. Furthermore, it has the potential to prevent the progression of allergic rhinitis to asthma, prevent new allergen sensitivities, and improve a patient's quality of life.
