Allergen immunotherapy is regarded as the only disease-modifying treatment option for various allergic conditions, including allergic rhinitis and asthma. Among the routes of administration of allergens, sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has gained clinical interest recently, and the prescription of SLIT is increasing among patients with allergies. After 30 years of SLIT use, numerous pieces of evidence supporting its efficacy, safety, and mechanism allows SLIT to be considered as an alternative option to subcutaneous immunotherapy. Based on the progressive development of SLIT, the current guideline from the Korean Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Clinical Immunology aims to provide an expert opinion by allergy, pediatrics, and otorhinolaryngology specialists with an extensive literature review. This guideline addresses the use of SLIT, including 1) mechanisms of action, 2) appropriate patient selection for SLIT, 3) the currently available SLIT products in Korea, and 4) updated information on its efficacy and safety. This guideline will facilitate a better understanding of practical considerations for SLIT.
变应原免疫疗法被视为包括过敏性鼻炎和哮喘在内的各种过敏病症唯一的疾病改善治疗选择。在变应原的给药途径中,舌下免疫疗法(SLIT)近来已引起临床关注,并且在过敏患者中SLIT的处方量正在增加。在使用SLIT 30年后,大量支持其疗效、安全性及作用机制的证据使得SLIT可被视为皮下免疫疗法的替代选择。基于SLIT的不断发展,韩国哮喘、过敏与临床免疫学会的现行指南旨在通过过敏、儿科及耳鼻咽喉科专家进行广泛的文献综述来提供专家意见。本指南阐述了SLIT的使用,包括1)作用机制,2)SLIT的合适患者选择,3)韩国目前可用的SLIT产品,以及4)其疗效和安全性的最新信息。本指南将有助于更好地理解SLIT的实际考量因素。
