Article Abstract
Allergen immunotherapy is regarded as the only disease-modifying treatment option for various allergic conditions, including allergic rhinitis and asthma. Among the routes of administration of allergens, sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has gained clinical interest recently, and the prescription of SLIT is increasing among patients with allergies. After 30 years of SLIT use, numerous pieces of evidence supporting its efficacy, safety, and mechanism allows SLIT to be considered as an alternative option to subcutaneous immunotherapy. Based on the progressive development of SLIT, the current guideline from the Korean Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Clinical Immunology aims to provide an expert opinion by allergy, pediatrics, and otorhinolaryngology specialists with an extensive literature review. This guideline addresses the use of SLIT, including 1) mechanisms of action, 2) appropriate patient selection for SLIT, 3) the currently available SLIT products in Korea, and 4) updated information on its efficacy and safety. This guideline will facilitate a better understanding of practical considerations for SLIT.

Background: Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has been widely established as a disease-modifying treatment for allergic airway diseases. However, its efficacy and safety in allergic pharyngitis (AP) remain insufficiently investigated and require further clinical validation.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 100 patients diagnosed with house dust mite (HDM)-induced AP concomitant with allergic rhinitis (AR) were enrolled.

Background: The Maltalep trial in Bangladesh assessed whether single-dose rifampicin (SDR) given 8-12 weeks after bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination was able to prevent excess leprosy cases due to BCG in contacts of newly diagnosed leprosy patients. After previous publication of the two years follow-up results of the trial, we now review the results after five years. Furthermore, to better understand the long-term protective effects of BCG against leprosy, we conduct post-hoc in-depth secondary statistical analyses based on the prospective interventional (randomized) Maltalep trial and a non-interventional (non-randomized) cohort study that was conducted simultaneously in the same project area.

Placement of an external ventricular drain (EVD) involves navigating a catheter into a lateral ventricle of the brain, allowing drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. This can be a life-saving procedure in emergency situations. Ventricular cannulation is classically performed freehand, using landmarks on the skull to align the trajectory.

To investigate corneal deposits in a patient undergoing long-term chlorpromazine therapy using confocal microscopy with the HRT II Rostock Corneal Module. We reported a 45-year-old woman with a 7-year history of chlorpromazine therapy presented with bilateral photophobia and a 4-year history of gradual-onset blurred vision. Slit-lamp examination revealed yellowish deposits in the corneal endothelium and Descemet's membrane.
