Suivi clinique de 10 ans (1997-2006): - 18.841 patients traités par immunothérapie (SCIT). - 428.484 patients traités par anti-h1 + corticoïde topique. Patients sous immunothérapie: - Incidence diminuée de la mortalité (HR 0.71, 95% CI). - Incidence diminuée d infarctus du myocarde (HR 0.70, 95% CI) et de cardiopathie ischémique (HR 0.88, 95% CI) - Incidence diminuée des maladies auto-immunes (HR 0.86, 95% CI)
Walker SM, Durham R et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2001;107:87-93 Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controled, parallel group study 44 patients with severe summer hay fever: - 36 with seasonal chest symptoms - 28 with seasonal BHR Results : Significant reductions in the SIT group in: - Asthma symptom score (90%, 11%; P < 0.05) - Impairment of overall QOL was less in SIT group ( P = 0.02)

Advantages of SLIT (vs SCIT) Non invasive More acceptable in children? Safer Home administration Unique potential interest Directed against allergy induction sites (mucosal surfaces)

Good evidence for an interest of SCIT in asthma treatment and prevention Still debatable evidence for an interest of SLIT in asthma treatment and prevention Open future for alternative immunotherapy strategies
