We evaluated the effect of local specific immunotherapy in 40 patients suffering from seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Twenty patients received saline solution in both eyes; and 20 others received local specific immunotherapy in both eyes. Sodium cromoglycate drops were instilled in both eyes in all patients. Subjective and objective symptoms, and cytological findings had significantly improved after 1 year in the group treated with local specific immunotherapy plus sodium cromoglycate compared to the group treated with sodium cromoglycate and saline solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
