皮下免疫治疗在儿童过敏性哮喘中的应用进展

Advances in subcutaneous immunotherapy for pediatric allergic asthma

  • 摘要: 过敏性哮喘(AA)是儿童期常见的慢性气道炎症性疾病,中国0~14岁儿童的患病率呈持续上升趋势。尘螨是主要的吸入性变应原,单纯依靠环境控制难以有效控制症状。常规哮喘控制药物虽能缓解症状,但无法改变疾病的免疫学基础。皮下免疫治疗(SCIT)是目前唯一能够改变过敏性疾病自然病程的对因治疗手段,在儿童AA中应用历史悠久。然而,关于SCIT的适用人群、疗程优化及长期疗效预测等核心问题,临床实践中仍存在较多争议。文章归纳了SCIT治疗儿童AA的免疫学机制进展、临床疗效证据、安全性特征及联合治疗策略;在此基础上,进一步聚焦不同致敏模式对SCIT疗效的影响,比较单一过敏与多重致敏患儿在症状改善、肺功能恢复及长期控制等方面的疗效差异,并分析产生差异的可能原因。同时,文章着重介绍组分解析诊断技术在SCIT患者筛选和个体化方案制定中的应用价值,探讨其在优化多重致敏患儿治疗决策中的作用。文章整合了现有证据与存在问题,为优化SCIT在儿童AA中的临床应用策略和推动个体化治疗决策提供了参考。

     

    Abstract: Allergic asthma represents one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory airway disorders in the pediatric population, with a persistently rising prevalence among Chinese children aged 0–14 years. House dust mites constitute the predominant inhalant allergens, yet symptom control through environmental avoidance measures alone remains largely insufficient. Although conventional maintenance therapies can ameliorate clinical manifestations, they do not fundamentally modify the underlying immunological derangements. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) currently stands as the only disease-modifying intervention capable of altering the natural history of allergic diseases, and its application in pediatric allergic asthma has a well-established clinical track record. Nevertheless, considerable uncertainty persists in routine practice regarding optimal candidate selection, treatment duration, and long-term efficacy prediction. This review synthesizes current advances in the immunomodulatory mechanisms underpinning SCIT and summarizes available evidence on clinical effectiveness, safety profiles, and combination therapeutic strategies in children with allergic asthma. We further focus on how distinct sensitization phenotypes influence treatment responses, comparing differential outcomes—including symptom alleviation, pulmonary function improvement, and sustained disease control—between mono-sensitized and polysensitized patients, while exploring potential contributors to observed variability. In parallel, we highlight the emerging role of component-resolved diagnostics in refining patient stratification and enabling individualized regimen design, and critically assess whether this technology can improve therapeutic decision-making in polysensitized children. Through this analysis, we identify key methodological shortcomings in the existing literature: the predominance of single-center studies with limited sample sizes, the absence of uniformly applied definitions for polysensitization across trials, and the lack of standardized assessment frameworks tailored to specific sensitization patterns. By integrating current evidence with a critical appraisal of persisting challenges, this review aims to provide a practical reference for optimizing SCIT implementation and advancing personalized management strategies in pediatric allergic asthma.
