Well, the hypo treatment (supposedly) is recorded elsewhere anyways (under treatment) being linked to a "health issue" (which is one level above "episode") in this case "allergy to Penicillin".
So it would really just be a shortcut because it would just as well be possible to check whether the "health issue" a recorded allergy points to is also referenced by a hypo treatment "clinical transaction".

I guess in the same record as the allergy because I think that a hyposensibilization will be done only to those allergies the patient is suffering from - so this record has to exist.
We have got a hyposensibilization and it is now much better but we continue to suffer from this allergy and I think a field hyposensibilization should have some certain states which might be: completely successfull successful much better than before better than before unchanged worse (?
