Immunotherapy is a specific treatment for allergic diseases. Unlike conventional pharmacological treatment, immunotherapy is the only treatment that could modify the natural course of allergic disease. This is a prospective double-blind placebo controlled study with two arms of treatment in an up-dosing cluster regimen for 4 weeks.
