title: [Efficacy evaluation of specific immunotherapy with standardized house dust mite allergen preparation for allergic rhinitis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the efficacy of specific immunotherapy (SIT) with standardized house dust mite allergen preparation for allergic rhinitis (AR).
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-five patients with allergic rhinitis caused by house dust mites were selected in this self-control study. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by symptom and sign score after two years of specific immunotherapy and compared with pre-treatment scores.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After completing the study, a clinically significant reduction in symptom and sign score in these patients was noted, compared with that of pretreatment. And the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Standardized house dust mite allergen preparation is an effective treatment in patients suffering from allergic rhinitis due to house dust mites.
