Purpose : The purpose of this study was to clarify the AEs of SLIT in a large cohort of patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis. Methods : We conducted a detailed survey, by both questionnaires and direct interviews, of 207 patients receiving SLIT at our clinic. Results : Eightyfour of the 207 patients40.5%developed AEs, with AEs involving the oral cavity and throat being the most common56 patients ; 27.1%. Sixteen patients7.9%had local mucosal swelling, but the swelling resolved in all the cases. Other allergeninduced symptoms such as nasal symptoms29 events, 14.0%, eye symptoms14 events, 6.8%and ear symptoms20 events, 9.7%were also recognized. All the AEs were minor, and discontinuation of SLIT was not necessitated in any of the patients because of AEs. There were 52 AEs25.0%in the updose phase and 61 AEs29.3%in the maintenance phase. However, only 4 of the 161 patients2.5%developed AEs during the pollen season. Most AEs developing during the maintenance phase occurred in the first few weeks. In 60% of the cases, the AEs disappeared within 2 weeks, and in 6.0%5 events, they persisted for longer than 2 months. There were no ageor sex related differences in the prevalence of cedar pollenspecific IgE, or in the adherence to the treatment. Conclusion : AEs in SLIT were shown in many patients, however, the severity of AEs was mild and no events interfered SLIT.
