title: [Specific immunotherapy in asthma].
abstract: Specific immunotherapy (SIT) or allergenic desensitization would be the only treatment capable to change the natural history of the atopic march for children. SIT has shown numerous proofs of efficacy in allergic asthma particularly in improving clinical and medication scores. It could also have the capacity to prevent asthma and new allergenic sensitization.
