Allergen immunotherapy in the current COVID-19 pandemic: A position paper of AeDA, ARIA, EAACI, DGAKI and GPA

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7304289/

FranÇois Spertin

Iemoli et al. [19] investigated the safety and clinical efficacy of sublingual grass allergy tablet immunotherapy in a group of HIV-positive patients with allergic rhinitis receiving antiretroviral therapy. HIV infection was considered a relative contraindication for AIT; however, highly active antiretroviral treatment has meanwhile improved immune function and life expectancy of HIV-infected patients so much that an attempt at therapy seems reasonable, especially since the incidence of allergic airway diseases in HIV-infected patients is comparable to that of the general population [19]. Data on clinical efficacy showed a significant improvement of patients treated with SLIT compared to controls, but no significant change in the number of CD4-positive T cells and HIV viral load in both groups was observed. These data show that SLIT can be effective, safe, and well-tolerated in viro-immunologically controlled HIV-positive patients.

In contrast, virus-like particles (VLPs) as modern vaccine components can even be used in the AIT of airborne and food allergens (peanut) in the near future [21, 22].
