Allergy immunotherapy for inhalant allergens: Strategies to improve efficacy.

abstract：:IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) is a heavy burden for patients, particularly for children and their families. Allergen avoidance represents the only therapeutic option, but oral desensitization protocols have been suggested. Because of the long duration and complexity of these protocols we examined the feasibili...
