FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
- Why China for allergy and immunology?
- Three reasons: (1) Drug pricing — NMPA-approved biologics for severe atopy (dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, tezepelumab) at NMPA-listed prices substantially below US; (2) Comprehensive immunotherapy programs — SCIT and SLIT widely available with the major Asian-region allergen extracts (HDM Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and farinae are particularly relevant for international patients with high HDM exposure); (3) Volume — Class A allergy departments operate at scale with structured biologic and immunotherapy programs.
- What does an allergy workup include?
- Standard 1–2 day pathway: detailed history including symptom triggers, atopic family history, environmental and occupational exposures; skin-prick testing for inhalant and food allergens; specific IgE panel (ImmunoCAP) for allergens not amenable to skin testing or where SPT is negative but clinical suspicion remains; total IgE; spirometry with bronchodilator response if asthma; FeNO for type-2 asthma phenotyping; component-resolved diagnosis for selected cases (peanut, hazelnut, milk, egg).
- What about allergen immunotherapy?
- SCIT (subcutaneous immunotherapy): proven disease-modifying therapy for allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma and venom allergy. Standard 3–5 year course. Initial weekly build-up + monthly maintenance. SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy): daily home-administered tablets for HDM, grass, ragweed. Practical workflow for international patients: complete diagnostic workup + initiate immunotherapy at partner centre + transition to home allergist for maintenance. Continuity coordinated with bilingual treatment summary.
- What about biologics for severe atopy?
- NMPA-approved at substantially lower cost than US: dupilumab (Dupixent) for moderate-severe atopic dermatitis, severe asthma, CRSwNP, eosinophilic esophagitis; omalizumab (Xolair) for severe persistent allergic asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria; mepolizumab (Nucala) and benralizumab (Fasenra) for severe eosinophilic asthma; tezepelumab (Tezspire) for severe uncontrolled asthma regardless of phenotype; reslizumab (Cinqair) for eosinophilic asthma. Pre-biologic workup includes vaccination status, parasite screening (omalizumab can mask helminth disease), and baseline labs.
- What about food allergy and oral immunotherapy?
- OIT (oral immunotherapy) for peanut, milk, egg, and tree nut at academic Chinese centres — typically pediatric programs but increasing adult availability. Palforzia (peanut allergen powder) is FDA-approved; NMPA approval pending. We coordinate OIT only at specialist centres with established allergy emergency response. Anaphylaxis management: epinephrine auto-injector (NMPA-approved generic available at 60–80% off US Mylan EpiPen pricing); patient and family training included with prescription.
- What about primary immunodeficiency?
- Primary immunodeficiency (PID) workup at academic immunology centres: history (recurrent / unusual / persistent / severe / familial infections); CBC + immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE); lymphocyte subset flow cytometry; vaccine antibody response testing; specific genetic panels for SCID, CVID, X-linked agammaglobulinemia and others. Treatment: immunoglobulin replacement (IVIg or SCIg) at NMPA-listed pricing substantially below US. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant for SCID and selected severe PID — coordinated with home transplant centre (we do not coordinate transplant in mainland China).
