    Abstract:
    The results and side effects of immunotherapy in atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis are evaluated in 460 patients. The findings are listed in terms of diagnosis, age, sex and preparations as well as duration and number of incorporated allergens of immunotherapy-vaccine. In 82% a good result was reported, while in 18% no improvement could be seen. The results increase gradually from atopic dermatitis to bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis, although the differences fail to be significant statistically. Males respond better than females. However, in bronchial asthma only, the differences are significant (p less than 0.01). According to the preparations used (Bencard, Novo-Helisen, Allpyral), no differences could be seen. The percentage of side effects is higher than 50%, but is mainly restricted to local swelling, tiredness and itching. Again no significant differences could be seen between the vaccines used.
