This book summarizes the most current knowledge on allergic diseases from epidemiology to mechanisms, environmental and genetic factors that influence the development of allergy and asthma clinical aspects, recent therapeutic and preventive strategies. Comprising of 6 volumes with each volume dedicated to a specific aspect of allergic disease [Volume 1: Evolution of Allergy, Epigenetics and Phenotypes, Allergens and Risk factors; Volume 2: Classification and Pathomechanisms, Allergy and the Nervous system and Allergy and mucosal immunology; Volume 3: Clinical manifestation of allergic diseases; Volume 4: Diagnosis and DD of allergic diseases and Allergy and Asthma Education; Volume 5: Therapy and prevention of allergies and Special Considerations in Children, Elderly and Pregnancy; Volume 6: Future perspectives], it is well illustrated throughout with numerous schematic diagrams and colour illustrations, and will serve as a valuable tool of information for scientists and practical guide for clinicians working in the field of allergy, asthma and immunology.
Written for: Scientists, clinicians working in the field of
allergy, asthma, and immunology
Keywords:
