The Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI) guidelines for the use of allergen immunotherapy were first published in 1995; since then, updated guidelines have been published [1-3]. The CSACI has reviewed this topic at its annual meetings and in its official publication [4]. We hope that this "Consensus Guidelines on Practical Issues of Immunotherapy" will promote excellence in the practice of immunotherapy in Canada. ("Allergen immunotherapy" or "specific immunotherapy" has also been termed "allergen vaccine" by the World Health Organization and others [5,6]).
