Immunotherapy of IgE-mediated disease

Hospital Practice
P S Norman

Abstract

Although immunotherapy has a long record of efficacy in certain allergies, its safety has recently been questioned. One problem is that physicians trained and certified in allergy are not the only ones who prescribe and administer allergen injections. Fundamental issues of diagnosis, patient and allergen selection, and management of adverse reactions are reviewed.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
