Currently, the approach to a patient with asthma is in accordance with personalized medicine wherein the decision on the treatment pathway is based on the type of asthmatic inflammation and other comorbidities that accompany asthma. For an allergic asthma patient, allergen immunotherapy (AIT), which has a disease-modifying effect and the potential to prevent further progression of allergic symptoms, is one of the treatment modalities. It is an effective treatment that, unlike pharmacotherapy, modifies the course of allergic respiratory diseases and induces allergen specific immune tolerance that persists for up to several years after treatment cessation. Therapeutic allergens of high quality, efficacy, and safety according to European regulatory authorities are an integral part of the treatment of respiratory allergies. It is a safe treatment option which still remains the only causal immuno¬modulatory therapy for allergic eosinophilic asthma.

Keywords: allergen immunotherapy, disease-modifying effect, allergic eosinophilic asthma.
