The necessity of treating an allergy is explained by the fact that, according to studies, an untreated allergy turns into bronchial asthma in approx. 35-40 % (\"change of stage\")! This serious development, as well as allergen expansion, must be avoided at all costs!<\/h6>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>

Allergy diagnostics<\/h3>\n

Skin testing and blood tests<\/h4>\n

According to the latest studies, around a third of all people in industrialised nations suffer from allergic symptoms to a greater or lesser extent. Allergies usually begin harmlessly, for example in the form of a mild hay fever, which passes after a few weeks until the following year. However, even with mild symptoms, it is advisable to get to the bottom of the allergens that trigger them.<\/p>\n

Particularly in the early stages of an allergy, effective measures can be taken to achieve lasting relief of symptoms, prevent the allergen from spreading and prevent the dreaded \"change of stage\", i.e. involvement of the bronchial tubes. In any case, it is important to take an allergic medical history and to assess the mucosal findings. Skin tests are the method of choice for allergies of the immediate type.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Prick test<\/h4>\n

It is carried out on the inside of the forearm. Standardised allergen extracts are applied to the skin in drop form and then pricked through the drop into the uppermost layer of skin using a very short and fine tip of a prick lancet.<\/p>\n

The size of a wheal and the reddening of the skin are analysed after 20 minutes in comparison to a control solution.<\/p>\n

Intracutaneous, scratch and friction tests are additional test methods that can also be used to test an allergen that is not present in a standardised form.<\/p>\n

For all allergy tests, the results must be based on the patient's medical history.<\/p>\n

If there is any doubt about the relevance of a positive or negative test result, further tests may be useful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Laboratory test<\/h4>\n

In allergological laboratory tests, blood is taken from the patient and tested for the presence of specific IgE-type antibodies (RAST test). Laboratory tests are sometimes also used if a skin or provocation test cannot be carried out at present due to certain contraindications. With these tests, too, the diagnosis of allergy can only be confirmed if the medical history and test results match.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Allergy treatment Frankfurt - Based on 3 pillars<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

\n\t\t\t

Parental leave<\/h4>\n

The first pillar is clearly abstinence. Avoid contact with the allergen that triggers your symptoms (allergy avoidance). This can work well, for example, with food intolerances and allergies to animal hair or mites. Special covers for bed linen and mattresses are also available for the latter. Dust-avoiding furnishings in your bedroom can provide additional relief in the case of dust mite allergies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

\r\n\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>\r\n\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Symptom therapy<\/h4>\n

Supportive relief of allergy symptoms with medication is the second pillar of therapy. Modern medication can dampen the body's excessive immune response (e.g. localised cortisone sprays) or suppress the effectiveness of the histamine that triggers the allergy (antihistamines).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

\n\t\t\t

Immunotherapy<\/h4>\n

Numerous studies (e.g. publication on aertzeblatt.de<\/a> clearly show that specific immunotherapy (SIT or, in the case of sublingual therapy, also known as SLIT) is the only treatment that addresses the causal causes of hypersensitivity to various allergens.<\/p>\n

SIT is particularly effective for pollen, house dust, animal hair and insect venom allergies. For this form of desensitisation, you receive the allergen to be treated in ascending doses up to the maintenance dose. We then administer it to you in fixed intervals. Injections under the skin and sublingual drop therapy are possible.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Various forms of immunotherapy:<\/h4>\n

Year-round therapy<\/h5>\n

With this continuous treatment, we give you regular injections throughout the year. This allows us to build up long-term allergy resistance.<\/p>\n

Short-term immunisation<\/h5>\n

This is an accelerated treatment that can build up allergy resistance quickly with a few high-dose injections over a short period of time.<\/p>\n

Cluster therapy<\/h5>\n

This is a method in which we administer several allergy vaccinations in short intervals on one day to shorten the duration of treatment.<\/p>\n

Grass inoculation tablet<\/h5>\n

The \"grass vaccine tablet\" has been authorised in the EU since November 2006. It enables oral immunotherapy. You take the tablet daily to increase your allergy tolerance to grass pollen. This procedure makes specific immunotherapy particularly easy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

When the body's immune system reacts strongly and inappropriately to substances that are normally harmless, this is known as an allergy. In an allergic reaction, too many antibodies are produced and substances such as histamine are released in the body, leading to unpleasant symptoms. These can be characterised by sneezing fits, runny nose or hay fever. ENT area<\/a> but can also affect the eyes (conjunctival irritation), the skin or the digestive tract (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea).<\/p>\n

Most patients are not born with an allergy - unless they have a genetic predisposition to it. Otherwise, the hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system only develops in the course of life through contact with foreign substances.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the word allergy is derived from two Greek terms: \"allos\" (= different) and \"ergos\" (= activity). This refers to the altered responsiveness of the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Allergy-causing substances are known as allergens. This means that a certain substance is categorised as dangerous by the immune system. This results in an allergic reaction.<\/p>\n

Allergens can be found in the air (e.g. pollen or house dust) or in food, insect venom, medicines, latex or light-sensitising substances (substances that make you sensitive to UV radiation).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

It is still unclear why exactly certain substances trigger allergic reactions in patients, while other people react quite normally to them. At least a few factors are now known that can favour the risk of an allergy. In many cases, several of these factors come together. In combination, they can then lead to unpleasant allergic symptoms.<\/p>\n

These factors can be<\/p>\n
