Vitamin D Role in Childhood Mite Allergy and Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT).

The post hoc analysis presented here aimed to address the influence of endogenous vitamin D in the immunological mechanism underlying effective mite allergoid immunotherapy (AIT). Previously, we have shown that in allergic children, after 12 months of this immunoactive treatment, functionally potentiated memory regulatory T cells are identified. Indeed, AIT is the only known treatment that is able to reshape the detrimental immune response against the allergen into a non-noxious one.
