Immunotherapy is the treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response. Immunotherapy is used to treat allergies. While allergy treatments (such as antihistamines or corticosteroids) treat allergic symptoms, immunotherapy can reduce sensitivity to allergens, lessening its severity. Antimicrobial immunotherapy, which includes vaccination, involves activating the immune system to respond to an infectious agent.
