Diagnosis and treatment of type I hypersensitivity reactions to American Elm or Siberian Elm pollen, including allergic rhinitis (hay fever), allergic conjunctivitis, and allergic asthma triggered by elm pollen exposure. May be used for both diagnostic skin testing and therapeutic desensitization.
In diagnostic use, the extract stimulates mast cell degranulation in sensitized individuals, producing a localized allergic reaction that confirms IgE-mediated sensitivity. In immunotherapy, repeated controlled exposure aims to induce immune tolerance by promoting allergen-specific IgG blocking antibodies and modulating T-cell responses, thereby reducing sensitivity over time.
Should only be administered by healthcare professionals trained in allergen immunotherapy due to risk of systemic allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. Requires careful patient selection and baseline assessment. Contraindicated in uncontrolled asthma, severe cardiovascular disease, and during acute infections. Local skin reactions at test sites are common and expected.
