title: [Risks of specific hyposensitization treatment].
abstract: In appropriate cases of diseases mediated by IgE, specific hyposensitization may be a successful way of treatment. According to prospective studies, the risk of side effects ranges between 0.1 and 1% per injection. We report on cases with fatal outcome and suggest suitable strategies in order to avoid serious complications.
