Specific bacterial immunotherapy in chronic colitis

Allergologia et immunopathologia
A M Nogaller, A G Maligin

Abstract

Three hundred and fifteen patients with chronic nonulcerative colitis were studied. Two hundred patients were given specific immunotherapy by bacterial allergens, and 115 formed the control group. Immunotherapy was carried out with increasing doses of bacterial allergens - E Coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus or Proteus - for 1-2 years. The effectiveness of immunotherapy was established toward the end of the course of treatment (as well as over a long period). The improvement was expressed clinically as a decrease in the endoscopic and coprologic signs of inflammation, an increase in natural immunologic resistance and a reduction of bacterial allergy and autoimmune disorders.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

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.
