OR Everything you wanted to ask about immunology testing but were too afraid to ask GP Laboratory medicine update meeting January 2017 Dr Charu Chopra MRCP FRCPath PG Dip Med Ed Consultant Immunologist Royal Infirmary Edinburgh. Immunotherapy is widely used by allergy specialists because it treats the underlying cause of allergic reactions instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms. Immunotherapy is designed to gradually desensitize the immune system to specific allergens. Patients receive small doses of a specific allergen(s) – not enough to cause a full-blown allergic reaction, but enough to build up a tolerance. Immunotherapy can potentially lead to remission of allergy symptoms, even after discontinuing treatment. . Allergology. . Pneumology. ENT. Pediatrics. US . AAAAI. Annual. 7-8000 . allergologists. .
