Abstract:

In recent years, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis(AR)and allergic asthma has increased significantly. Because of a deeper understanding of specific immunotherapy(SIT), it is currently believed that SIT may be the only treatment that changes the natural course of allergic diseases by regulating the immune mechanisms and can maintain long-term effects after treatment has been discontinued. This article reviews the simultaneous control and long-term efficacy of SIT for AR and asthma. A literature review and analysis of domestic and international studies indicates that SIT plays an important and positive role in the treatment of AR and asthma and can prevent AR from progressing to asthma. However, SIT is also associated with some problems that merit further discussion.

Key words: Allergic rhinitis, Asthma, Specific immunotherapy
