The article I chose is “Coseasonal sublingual immunotherapy reduces the development of asthma in children with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.” The objective of this article is to determine the effects of Coseasonal sublingual immunotherapy on the development of asthma in children who have seasonal allergies to pollen. The researchers took one hundred thirteen children who were allergic to environmental factors such as grass pollen and had them receive immunotherapy for the standard 3 years. 59 children were apart of the control group (they received a placebo) and 53 children actually received the immunotherapy. The children who received the immunotherapy showed a significant decrease in the amount of asthma attacks experienced throughout the year as compared to the control group. The experiment was conducted with the informed consent of the parents of the children.
