Dust mite allergy and the significance of different immunotherapies to treat It.
Abstract
Dust mite allergy is an inflammatory reaction to microscopic insects that reside in household dust.
Dust mite allergy symptoms include those associated with hay fever, such as sneezing and a runny
nose. Many persons who are allergic to dust mites also exhibit symptoms of asthma, such as
wheezing and trouble breathing. Immunotherapy is an important treatment option for dust
allergies. Numerous patients are being alleviated by the use of sublingual or subcutaneous
immunotherapy, which provides more alleviation for a longer length of time and is devoid of
adverse effects, in contrast to synthetic medications. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) allergy
pills are a new type of allergy immunotherapy that was recently licensed in the United States.
Instead of injections, allergy tablets entail sublingual administration of allergens with in form of a
liquid or tablet on a regular basis. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a very well kind of this
treatment. Additional allergens, including such venoms or food allergies, are examined
independently in SCIT. Oral and sublingual immunotherapy, rush immunotherapy, mechanisms
of action, and allergen extract production are all covered separately.
