Evaluation of subcutaneous immunotherapy with birch pollen extract for pollen-food allergy syndrome

Hamada, Masaaki, Kagawa, Masakazu, Tanaka, Ichiro·2021·Asia Pacific Allergy

Abstract

Some patients with pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) develop systemic symptoms along with oral allergy syndrome upon ingesting processed foods as well as raw fruits and vegetables. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy with birch pollen extract for patients with PFAS associated with soybean allergy. Subcutaneous immunotherapy with birch pollen extract was introduced in 6 patients with PFAS caused by alder/birch pollen and soybean allergy. An oral food challenge for ingestible amount of soy milk was performed before and 1 year after initiating subcutaneous immunotherapy with birch pollen extract. Before the treatment, the median intake of soy milk was 1.5 mL (interquartile range [IQR], 1-2 mL). One year after the treatment initiation, the median intake of soy milk increased significantly to 150 mL (IQR, 20-200 mL). Systemic reactions occurred in 4 of 6 patients in the rapid escalation phase of the treatment. The results thus suggest that subcutaneous immunotherapy with birch pollen extract could be beneficial for patients with PFAS associated with soybean allergy despite concerns regarding systemic reactions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
