过敏免疫疗法

取决于您拥有的过敏的类型,您可以培训您的身体变得越来越过敏。

概述

免疫疗法是一种预防性治疗草花粉等物质的过敏反应,房子尘螨和蜜蜂毒液。免疫疗法涉及逐渐增加物质或过敏原的剂量,或过​​敏原在过敏性。过敏原的增量增加导致免疫系统对物质变得不那么敏感,可能是通过造成“阻塞”的产生An antibody is a protein (also called an immunoglobulin) that is manufactured by lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) to neutralize an antigen or foreign protein. Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms commonly contain many antigens, as do pollens, dust mites, molds, foods, and other substances. Although many types of antibodies are protective, inappropriate or excessive formation of antibodies may lead to illness. When the body forms a type of antibody called IgE (immunoglobulin E), allergic rhinitis, asthma or eczema may result when the patient is again exposed to the substance which caused IgE antibody formation (allergen)." rel="tooltip">抗体,减少了症状Allergies are inappropriate or exaggerated reactions of the immune system to substances that, in the majority of people, cause no symptoms. Symptoms of the allergic diseases may be caused by exposure of the skin to a chemical, of the respiratory system to particles of dust or pollen (or other substances), or of the stomach and intestines to a particular food." rel="tooltip">过敏当未来遇到物质时。免疫疗法也降低了Inflammation is the redness, swelling, heat and pain in a tissue due to chemical or physical injury, or to infection. It is a characteristic of allergic reactions in the nose, lungs, and skin." rel="tooltip">炎表征鼻炎哮喘

在开始治疗之前,过敏患者和患者识别触发因子过敏症状。皮肤或有时血测试进行以确认该人具有抗体的特定过敏原。仅当人似乎对几种过敏原选择性敏感时,通常才建议免疫疗法。

我们所看到的是在暴露于它们过敏的情况下症状的症状显着减少,并且显着降低了药物的需要。这种治疗可以防止患有花粉热的患者的哮喘的发育。

过敏镜头,也被称为皮下Immunotherapy ("allergy shots") is a form of preventive and anti-inflammatory treatment of allergy to substances such as pollens, house dust mites, fungi, and stinging insect venom. Immunotherapy involves giving gradually increasing doses of the substance, or allergen, to which the person is allergic. The incremental increases of the allergen cause the immune system to become less sensitive to the substance, perhaps by causing production of a particular "blocking" antibody, which reduces the symptoms of allergy when the substance is encountered in the future." rel="tooltip">免疫疗法(SCIT),是最常用的和最有效的过敏免疫疗法形式。这是实际改变的唯一可用的治疗方法The immune system is a collection of cells and proteins that works to protect the body from potentially harmful, infectious microorganisms (microscopic life-forms), such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. The immune system plays a role in the control of cancer and other diseases, but also is the culprit in the phenomena of allergies, hypersensitivity and the rejection of transplanted organs, tissues and medical implants." rel="tooltip">免疫系统,可以防止新的过敏症的发展Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems. People with asthma have acute episodes where the air passages in their lungs get narrower, and breathing becomes more difficult. Sometimes episodes of asthma are triggered by allergens, although infection, exercise, cold air and other factors are also important triggers." rel="tooltip">哮喘

舌下(舌下)免疫疗法是治疗过敏而没有注射的替代方法。唯一的FDA批准的舌下治疗是片剂。过敏下降不是FDA批准的,并在美国销售。

屠体和抗组胺药是最常见的过敏药物。他们有助于减少鼻塞,流鼻涕,打喷嚏和瘙痒。其他药物通过防止释放引起过敏反应的化学物质。皮质类固醇是有效治疗鼻子的炎症。
