Abstract

A study about the desensitization therapy carried out on children with nassal allergy to house dust who were under 15 years old. The good effect was seemed in 35.7% of patients with the desensitization for 3 months, and 62.7% for 6 months, 90.0% for 12 months, 92.7% for 24 months.
The patients with the dessensitization for over 6 months had a considerable effect, as if they dropped out. In the questionaire to patients who dropped out with no contact to us, the effect of this therapy was seemed on 83.3% in those who answered questions, as so we considered that the sensitization for children with nasal allergy was very important as the basic therapy. Reffering to the efficacy of this therapy, it was seemed to be recommended to childern who were about from 7 to 9 years old, or those who had allergic rhinitis for a long time.
At the point of 6 months after starting HD desensitization, the patients who reacted intensivelyto the provocation test had not significantly the efficacy compared with those who reacted slightly, but other clinical data were not significantly concerned with the efficacy of this therapy.
