Tóm tắt

Food oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an option for the treatment of immunoglobin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy that involves administering gradually increasing doses of an allergenic food over time (under medical supervision) with the goal of desensitizing an individual to the food allergen. Current Canadian clinical practice guidelines for OIT recommend this form of therapy as an option in patients with food allergy. The intervention should be prioritized in the infant and toddler population, in which it is particularly well tolerated and can lead to sustained unresponsiveness (also sometimes referred to as remission). In this article, we provide an overview of OIT and discuss the role non-allergist clinicians can play in caring for patients undergoing OIT.
