Dr. Alice Hoyt interviews Dr. Edwin Kim about his research in sublingual immunotherapy in children with peanut allergies.
Guest Dr. Edwin Kim
Dr. Kim is a renowned pediatric allergist and immunologist who has extensive experience in treating children with food allergies. In this episode, he shares his research on sublingual immunotherapy, a method of allergy treatment that is gaining popularity among allergists and parents of children with food allergies.
SLIT
Sublingual immunotherapy, also known as "SLIT," is a form of food allergy treatment in which diluted allergen is placed under the tongue daily. The concentration is increased until the patient reaches a maintenance dose. The maintenance dose is continued for years. The goal of SLIT is to desensitize the patient's immune system to specific allergens, reducing the allergic response and decreasing the risk of a severe allergic reaction when he allergen is accidentally ingested.
Take-Aways

  1. SLIT is safe for children.
  2. SLIT is effective in children.
