SUMMARY
Objective. To evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus/Dermatophagoidesfarinae mixture subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT). Methods. Patientsreceived an abbreviated build-up schedule. The aims were: number, percentage, and severityof adverse reactions. Secondary outcomes included: changes in immunoglobulin titers and changes in dose-response skin prick tests. Results. Out of 289 administrations, 17% elicitedany clinically relevant adverse reaction. Most of them were local reactions (LR) (9.4%) and the rest (7.6%) were systemic. Significant increases in sIgG and sIgG4 were detectedin serum samples. Cutaneous reactivity decreased significantly. Conclusions. SCIT withhouse dust mites mixture of ROXALL Medicina España S.A. seems to have an acceptabletolerability profile, induces blocking IgG and decreases skin reactivity.
