title: [Desensitization, hyposensitization, specific immunotherapy].
abstract: The technique of desensitization began in Great Britain in 1911 (Noon). Modifications have recently been introduced in some European countries: in the South, desensitization is the cornerstone of treatment of immediate allergy, whilst in Scandinavia and especially in Great Britain the number of desensitizations has decreased.
