Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Rheumatology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) effectively treats allergic conditions.
  • Long-term side effects of SIT require further documentation.
  • Autoimmune conditions are potential, though rare, adverse events.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old woman developed Sjögren's syndrome during grass-pollen SIT.
  • She presented with ocular and salivary symptoms, positive anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies, and grade 4 sialoadenitis.
  • Symptoms persisted after SIT discontinuation.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of Sjögren's syndrome following SIT.
  • The patient exhibited key diagnostic criteria for Sjögren's syndrome.
  • Specific HLA types were noted: B55 (B22), Bw6, Cw1 (class I) and DR11, DR52, DQ7 (DQ3) (class II).

Implications:

  • Clinicians should monitor patients undergoing SIT for autoimmune disease development.
  • Early detection and management of potential autoimmune side effects are crucial.
  • Further research is needed to understand the link between SIT and autoimmunity.
