Allergy is a disorder of the immune system which is a form of hypersensitivity.Allergic reactions occur to normally harmless environmental substances known as allergens; these reactions are acquired, predictable, and rapid. Strictly, allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is called type I(or immediate) hypersensitivity.It is characterized by excessive activation of certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody known as IgE, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response.

If low dose immunotherapy has seemed to fail, interfering factors should be tested for and treated.
