Abstract
Alergija na hrano je potencialno smrtno nevarna imunska reakcija, ki jo običajno sprožijo neškodljivi antigeni proteinov hrane. Razširjenost alergij na hrano raste, do danes pa ne obstaja nobena odobrena terapija zdravljenja razen izogibanja alergena hrane ter zdravljenja akutnih alergijskih reakcij z vbrizganjem epinefrina. Oralna imunoterapija predstavlja obetajočo terapevtsko alternativo, kjer pacienti uživajo majhne, a postopoma večje količine alergena tekom več mesecev, vendar je povezana s pogostimi alergijskimi reakcijami. Medtem ko je desenzibilizacija ali zmanjšana reaktivnost na alergen hrane, dosežena pogosto, indukcija dolgotrajne tolerance še ni bila vzpostavljena. V delu se bom osredotočila na glavne dosežke in nedavne napredke v oralni imunoterapiji za zdravljenje pogostih alergij na hrano, kot so arašidi, kravje mleko, jajca in pšenica.

Oral immunotherapy for food allergy |
Secondary abstract: |
Food allergy is potentially life-threatning immune reaction, triggered by normally innocous food protein antigens. The prevalence of food allergy is rising, but there is no approved therapy apart from avoidance of allergenic foods and treatment of acute allergic reactions with injectable epinephrine. Oral immunotherapy is a promising therapeutic alternative, in which patients consume small, but gradually increasing alergen doses over many months, but it is associated with frequent allergic reactions. While desensitization, or reduced reactivity to food alergens, is often achieved, the induction of long term tolerance has not yet been established. In this work I will focus on main acchivements and recent progres in oral immunotherapy for treatment of common food alergies, such as peanut, cow's milk, hen's egg and wheat. |
