Study for Evaluating Life Quality in Patients With Rhinoconjunctivitis

Prospective Study for Evaluating Life Quality and Its Determinant Factors as Treatment Adherence and Immunotherapy Satisfaction in Patients With Rhinoconjunctivitis With or Without Asthma, Sensitized at Least to One Aeroallergen

The purpose of ths study is to evaluate changes in life quality of patients affected by rhinoconjuntivitis with or without asthma after immunotherapy treatment. It is an observational, prospective and comparative study before-after immunotherapy treatment with a one year follow-up.

• Patients who obtained a prick test result ≥ 3 mm diameter to any aeroallergen. Positive and negative control of the test should give consistent results.
• Patients with specific immunoglobulin E ≥ class 2 (CAP/PHADIA) to any aeroallergen.

Exclusion criteria (based on routine clinical practice):

• Patients with severe asthma or forzed expiratoy volumen in 1 second FEV1< 70% even if the are pharmacologically controlled .
