Clinical outcomes of AIT in the elderly population
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.
