ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the short-term efficacy and investigate the factors of specific immunotherapy (SIT) efficacy of allergic rhinitis.@*METHOD@#Fifty-seven patients with allergic rhinitis to dermatophagoides pteronysinus were included to receive SIT. Pair t-test was used to compare the symptom scores, visual analogue scores (VAS) and medication scores in patients before SIT and into maintain treatment statement to evaluate the clinical efficacy. T-test and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation between gender, age,reaction condition of skin prick test (SPT) and serum sIgE and the efficacy of SIT.@*RESULT@#SIT was able to significantly reduce the symptom scores, VAS and medication scores. But the correlation between gender, age, SPT, and sIgE and theefficacy of SIT were not significant.@*CONCLUSION@#SIT is effective in the short-term treatment of AR. Further research is needed to investigate the factors that impact the efficacy of SIT.
