Brief summary
The purpose of the trial is to asses the efficacy and safety of sublingual annual immunotherapy in children with bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis allergic to house dust mites.
Detailed description
Allergen immunotherapy is currently the only one method of cause treatment of the IgE-dependent allergic diseases. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is the method which allows to give allergens via alternative oral route in patients home. Due to possibility of avoiding injection this therapy offers better relationship with pediatric patient. However efficacy and safety of sublingual immunotherapy are still important issues, especially in asthmatic children. The purpose of the trial is to asses the efficacy and safety of sublingual annual immunotherapy in children with bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis allergic to house dust mites.
