Exploring allergy testing and Allergen Specific Immunotherapy
FREE TWO-PART MINISERIES
Allergy testing is not the way to make a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis, but a means to help in the management of disease.
Whilst allergy testing is really essential to formulate allergen specific immunotherapy, there are many other reasons to consider allergy testing. Come along to the first of two Masterclass sessions to learn more about how you can use allergy testing to help improve the management of your allergic patients.
Learning objectives:
After this session you should understand why allergy testing is such a useful procedure to help manage allergic animals. You should also be able to appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of allergy testing.
Part Two
Allergen Specific Immunotherapy is a useful option for therapy in atopic dermatitis.
There are many misconceptions about its use, including which criteria should be used to choose a vaccine, how vaccines can be used in combination with other drugs (especially some of the fast acting anti-pruritic drugs) and the most appropriate protocol for use. Come along to our second Masterclass session to find out more...
Learning objectives:
After this session you should appreciate where allergen specific therapy fits into the portfolio of therapeutic options for atopic dermatitis. You will also understand how allergens should be chosen for vaccines to maximise the success rate for therapy. And finally you will learn how to use and adapt vaccine protocols for individual patient needs.
