Failed oral immunotherapy should be considered as a risk factor for fatal anaphylaxis, and omalizumab treatment considered

Abstract

Abstract Oral immunotherapy is proposed as the only active intervention to modify allergies and decrease the risk of severe reactions. However, it is crucial to note that oral immunotherapy still presents a notable failure rate and potential for severe, life-threatening outcomes. Notably, patients who discontinue oral immunotherapy may face an increased risk of fatal reactions. Omalizumab could be a viable option for patients with failed oral immunotherapy.
