A member asked:
Should sarcoidosis patients avoid allergy shots due to the immune system being involved? will it aggravate this condition and make it flare up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: Allergy shots have never been proven to exacerbate any other form of immune disorders. In fact, one recent study suggested that those who received allergy shots are less likely to develop autoimmune diseases. Do note that allergy shots are effective only in 80-90% of the patients.
