Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: No differences between numbers of immediate local or large local reactions, delayed local reactions, or required dose adjustments were noted between patient and control groups. One patient from each group experienced a mild systemic urticarial reaction to immunotherapy. Similarly, there were no differences in complications in either group that also received immunotherapy with nonfungal allergens. No patient developed evidence of immune complex disease. Eight publications were identified for inclusion in our literature analysis, 7 of which used low-dose subcutaneous immunotherapy. None of these noted complications more serious than local reactions. CONCLUSION:
