The increasing prevalence of allergic disease in the Western world has led to the concept of the ‘allergic march’ to describe the evolving spectrum of disease that often begins in childhood. The use of allergen immunotherapy in children has the potential of altering the natural course of allergic disease. However, concerns regarding the safety of using this treatment in children are an obstacle to attenuating the allergic march. The study of Di Rienzo and colleagues reviews the safety of Sublingual Immunotherapy in children between the ages of 3 and 5 years. (more…)

Treatment of allergic diseases in childhood presents unique challenges, as both the beneficial effects and the detrimental effects of intervention(s) may last for decades and even for a lifetime. Most allergic diseases are managed in a community setting by primary care physicians, rather than in a hospital setting by allergy specialists. Here, we describe outpatient treatment, which is focused on prevention and relief of morbidity from allergic diseases and on the identification of children at high risk (more…)

Specific immunotherapy has been widely used to treat allergic rhinitis symptoms. As with any other form of specific immunotherapy, careful patient selection is crucial. The diagnosis of allergic rhinitis needs to be secure, especially in those with perennial symptoms, and should be based on a careful clinical history supported by documentation of IgE-mediated sensitivity by skin prick test or blood tests. (more…)
