            Allergen Immunotherapy

            Published by Dr José Costa at 05/02/2023

            Immunotherapy, also known as desensitisation or hypo-sensitisation, is a medical treatment for different types of allergies.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            Immunotherapy involves exposing people to larger and larger amounts of a specific allergen in an attempt to change the immune system's response.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            Oral immunotherapy can start from 4 months of age, as shown in LEAP and EAT studies.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            Both children and adults can receive allergy shots, although it is not typically recommended for children under age five.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            The actual name for the Dermal one is epicutaneous.⁣⁣

            What types of allergen immunotherapy do we have?

            There are also some trials on intralymphatic injections, ultrasound guided.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            It often leads to lasting relief of allergy symptoms, even after treatment is stopped.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            This makes it a cost-effective, beneficial treatment approach for many people.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            Hippocrates (c. 460 – c. 370 BC) is often credited with first recognising that food could be responsible for some individuals' adverse symptoms and even death.⁣⁣
            ⁣⁣
            Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Rāzī (854-925 CE) was a Persian physician. He wrote several medical books and treaties. In "Resale Shammieh", he recognised the link between signs of a cold in spring at the time of rose blossoming.⁣⁣
            He is also known as the father of paediatrics.⁣
