Abstract

Purpose of review: This review aims to present the current knowledge on the effectiveness and safety of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) in patients over 60 years of age with inhalant allergies.

Recent findings: Over the last 10 years, the problem of immunoglobulin E allergy in seniors has been noticed by many authors. At the same time, in the 1990s, trials of desensitization to selected inhalant allergens were started, obtaining evidence of the effectiveness of AIT, both with the use of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and injection immunotherapy (SCIT), in patients over 60 years of age with allergic rhinitis. Such data have been confirmed for AITs for grasses, birch, and house dust mites. Currently, these patients are being monitored to assess the long-term effect of AIT. All available observations confirm the high safety of AIT in seniors.

Summary: Seniors with allergic rhinitis or asthma may qualify for AIT if they do not have contraindications. These patients can experience a sustained clinical benefit even after completing AIT treatment. Studies indicate that injectable and sublingual routes of administration may be effective in this age group, provided the suspect allergen is accurately diagnosed.

AIT 在老年人群中的临床效果。

综述目的：本综述旨在介绍目前关于过敏原免疫疗法（AIT）对 60 岁以上吸入性过敏患者的有效性和安全性的知识：在过去的 10 年中，许多学者都注意到了老年人免疫球蛋白 E 过敏的问题。与此同时，在 20 世纪 90 年代，针对选定吸入性过敏原的脱敏试验也开始进行，并获得证据表明，在 60 岁以上的过敏性鼻炎患者中使用舌下免疫疗法（SLIT）和注射免疫疗法（SCIT）进行 AIT 治疗是有效的。草、桦树和屋尘螨的 AIT 也证实了这些数据。目前，正在对这些患者进行监测，以评估 AIT 的长期效果。总结：患有过敏性鼻炎或哮喘的老年人如果没有禁忌症，可以使用 AIT。这些患者在完成 AIT 治疗后仍可获得持续的临床疗效。研究表明，只要准确诊断出可疑过敏原，注射和舌下给药途径对这一年龄组的患者可能有效。
