The efficiency of specific immunotherapy in children with respiratory tractus diseases caused by sensitization to domestic mites
Abstract
The efficiency of specific immunotherapy of allergical diseases in mite-sensitized children was shown. The effectiveness of the treatment was manifested by the regression of clinical symptoms, the decrease of the total IgE level, and the increase of levels of IgG and IgG4 allergen-specific antibodies. The treatment gave positive results in 85.99% of patients. The study proves that, before making a decision to use specific immunotherapy, the examination of patients with clinical, immunological, and acarological methods is necessary.
