title: [Cross-reactivity in immunotherapy].
abstract: Side effects of allergen-specific immunotherapy beyond the well-known local and systemic allergic reactions are rare. Cross-reactivity between some groups of inhaled and oral allergens has been documented but not sufficiently explained. Some trials and clinical observations indicate the similarity of allergen subunits and clinical manifestations of this phenomenon.
