A Canadian study suggested that SLIT is safe and effective in older children and teens with multiple food allergies who are at a high risk for severe reaction.
Sublingual immunotherapy is as safe and effective for high-risk older children and adolescents as oral immunotherapy is for infants and preschoolers, according to new research.
Nearly half of participants had atopic dermatitis, 45.2% had asthma, 58.0% had allergic rhinitis, and 2.66% had preexisting eosinophilic esophagitis. A wide variety of food allergens were treated, including peanut, other legumes, tree nuts, sesame, other seeds, egg, cow's milk, fish, wheat, shrimp, and other allergens.
The most common grade 1 reaction was oral itch, an expected symptom of SLIT, which occurred in 82.7% of the patients.
