[Value of selected parameters for monitoring efficacy of specific immunotherapy in allergic disorders]

Prevention, pharmacotherapy and specific immunotherapy are used as methods to treat patients with allergic disorders of respiratory system. SIT as a method of controlled supply of allergen, releases immunological mechanisms related to humoral, cellular and effector organic response. Role of those mechanisms and type of changes, taking place can be monitored with given immunological parameters. Most convincing proof of effectiveness of desensitisation, is diminishing of manifestation of clinical symptoms. In patients treated with obvious therapeutical progress, tolerance of increased dose of allergen was noted.
