The use of complementary and alternative practices in the field of Allergy/Immunology is growing. A recent survey of American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology members examining patterns of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use and adverse effects from CAM revealed that a majority of practitioners (81% of respondents) had patients who are using CAM therapies over conventional treatments and many practitioners (60% of survey respondents) have encountered patients experiencing adverse reactions. During routine office visits, a majority of practitioners do not ask patients about CAM use, and when they do, most do not have a standard intake form to take a CAM history. There is a strong need to increase knowledge and improve measures to prevent adverse reactions to CAMs.
在过敏/免疫学领域,补充和替代疗法的应用正在不断增加。最近对美国过敏、哮喘和免疫学会成员进行的一项调查,调查了补充和替代医学(CAM)的使用模式和 CAM 带来的不良反应,结果显示,大多数从业者(81%的受访者)的患者在使用 CAM 疗法而不是传统疗法,许多从业者(60%的调查受访者)遇到过经历不良反应的患者。在常规门诊就诊时,大多数从业者不会询问患者是否使用 CAM,即使询问,大多数从业者也没有标准的摄入表格来了解 CAM 病史。因此,非常有必要提高认识并改善措施,以预防 CAM 不良反应。
