Title of the Congress : The 50th annual meeting of the Japanese society of pediateic allergy and clinical immunology
Title of your Abstract : A safe and effective method for wheat oral immunotherapy
Venue : Pacifico Yokohama in Japan

Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Background:Wheat products are widely consumed in the world, especially in Asia and wheat allergy is an increasingly problem because now the only available management is avoidance. 
Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) has shown promise for increasing tolerance of wheat in allergic patients. To measure the effectiveness and safety of OIT in patients with wheat allergy, we started wheat OIT in our center from August 2012.
Method:Patients above 5 years old with wheat allergy enrolled in the study. Skin prick test, wheat specific IgE measurement and Oral Food Challenge (OFC) performed before and after OIT. According to history and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge test, they were divided into two groups with anaphylaxis and without anaphylaxis. We performed Rush Oral Immunotherapy (ROIT) for anaphylactic type and outpatient method for nonanaphylactic type of wheat allergy.We used bread for OIT. In ROIT the patients hospitalized and build up phase performed during several days but in outpatient method the amount of ingestion gradually increased. After completion the build up phase, the children were asked to ingest the maintenance dose "daily" for 3 months. In both groups if they could keep taking the wheat products without adverse reactions for 3 months, they received confirmed OFC. If this challenge was negative, we regarded them as desensitized state and they had to eat wheat products daily without interruption.
Result: Five patients were included in this study. ROIT done for three of them.They had build up phase in 3 days, during this period two patients showed mild reactions which subsided with medications, after that they completed maintenance phase in 3 months successfully without any complications. Outpatient method used for two patients. They had more prolonged build up phase, after completing this period they continued maitenance phase for 3 months. During these phases one patient showed mild to moderate reactions that treated with medical therapy. All studied patients are now consuming wheat products freely without any reactions. Skin prick test and serum specific IgE results showed no significant change after OIT.
Conclusion: Wheat OIT by using this method could be safe and effective in selected patients with wheat allergy although it needs further investigations with more patients.
