Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the standardized dust mites vaccine for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods Thirty patients with allergic rhinitis caused by house-dust mites (HDM) were selected in this self-contrast study. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by symptom and sign score after six months of specific immunotherapy and compared with pre-treatment scores. Results Twenty eight patients completed the study. A clinically significant reduction in symptom and sign score in these 28 patients comparing with that of pre-treatment was founded, and the difference was significant(P<0.01). 92 local adverse reactions and 8 systemic reactions had occurred in total 566 injections, and no fatal systemic reaction occurred. Conclusion Standardized allergen specific immunotherapy is an effective treatment in patients suffering from allergic rhinitis due to house-dust mites.
