Abstract

The article discusses the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided intralymphatic allergen administration in the superficial inguinal lymph node as an alternative to traditional subcutaneous immunotherapy for allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. It emphasizes the importance of understanding lymphatic anatomy and selecting the appropriate lymph node to prevent complications like lymphedema. The procedure aims to offer localized delivery, reduce the risk of anaphylaxis, and shorten treatment periods, but further studies are needed to address anatomical considerations and optimize visualization of lymph nodes.
