Abstract

Allergic diseases can notably affect a patient's quality of life. World Health Organization (WHO) has identified these diseases as one of the key areas for research and prevention in the 21st century. Currently, allergen-specific immunotherapy is viewed as a potential treatment approach that could modify the natural progression of allergic diseases, thus being recognized as a crucial tactic in their prevention and treatment. Nonetheless, the broad implementation of allergen-specific immunotherapy in clinical settings continues to confront challenges. One significant issue is the absence of standardized centers for subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy. This article presents several perspectives and recommendations for establishing a standardized subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy center.

过敏性疾病可显著影响患者的生活质量。世界卫生组织已将过敏性疾病列为21世纪需要重点研究和防控的疾病之一。目前,过敏原特异性免疫治疗被认为是可能改变过敏性疾病自然进程的治疗方法,因此被视为防治过敏性疾病的关键措施。然而,过敏原特异性免疫治疗在临床实践中的广泛应用仍面临挑战,其中一个主要的问题是缺乏规范化的皮下过敏原特异性免疫治疗中心。本文阐述了一些关于建立规范化的皮下过敏原特异性免疫治疗中心的意见与建议。.
