Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy in Food Anaphylaxis

Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy in Food Anaphylaxis

Specific immunotherapy (SIT) protocols for nutritional allergens have only recently been established with a focus on oral allergy syndrome because of pollen cross-reacting antibodies. For these patients, a substantial number of studies have been published suggesting benefits from SIT. The situation...
