Abstract: The article offers a bioptic study on oral reactions to sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). It is stated that although sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is currently considered a feasible option to traditional subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) for treating allergic rhinitis caused by sensitization to seasonal or perennial allergens with a significant advantage in terms of safety, but mast cells and eosinophils are not the elicitors of local reactions to SLIT.
