Abstract

The paper presents clinical cases of patients with severe atopic dermatitis with polyvalent sensitization in an adult patient and in a pediatric patient. Standard topical and systemic therapy proved to be an insufficiently effective strategy in these patients. Both patients underwent component-resolved allergy diagnostics, which made it possible to identify the causally significant components of allergens, sensitization to which affects the course of atopic dermatitis. On the basis of the survey, indications for allergen-specific immunotherapy with causally significant allergens were determined. The treatment made it possible to achieve non-drug remission not only of atopic dermatitis but also of concomitant respiratory allergic diseases.

The cases demonstrate the efficacy and safety of allergen-specific immunotherapy in patients with proven sensitization to causally significant allergens based on component allergy diagnostics.
