TLDR
According to the presently available evidence, SLIT and SCIT can be used in asthma associated with rhinitis, provided that asthma is adequately controlled by pharmacotherapy, and a measurable clinical benefit on asthma symptoms can be expected.
Allergen injection immunotherapy for seasonal allergic rhinitis.
TLDR
This review has shown that specific allergen injection immunotherapy in suitably selected patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis results in a significant reduction in symptom scores and medication use and no long-term consequences from adverse events.

TLDR
In conclusion, intralymphatic allergen administration enhanced safety and efficacy of immunotherapy and reduced treatment time from 3 years to 8 weeks.
Long-term clinical and immunological effects of allergen immunotherapy
TLDR
Findings are largely confined to studies of subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy for seasonal pollinosis, and further studies are needed to address potential long-term clinical effects for other seasonal and perennial inhaled allergens in both children and adults.

Epicutaneous Immunotherapy for Aeroallergen and Food Allergy
TLDR
Historical evidence for the clinical efficacy of epicutaneous allergy immunotherapy (EPIT) has now been strengthened by a number of recent double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trials performed by independent groups.
Specific allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of atopic eczema.
TLDR
Overall, the risk of bias was moderate, with high loss to follow up and lack of blinding as the main methodological concern, and the quality of the evidence was low.
