Summary:

Written by well-known, widely published experts, this volume is a comprehensive text on otolaryngic allergy and all of its manifestations. The contributors thoroughly review relevant basic science, describe the diagnostic workup, and discuss patient management approaches, including environmental management, pharmacotherapy, immunotherapy, nutrition, and alternative and complementary therapies. A major portion of the book focuses on specific allergic disorders of the ear and respiratory system and related conditions such as ocular allergy, latex hypersensitivity, chemical sensitivities, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. Each of these chapters discusses treatment strategies in detail, using case studies to illustrate key principles of treatment.
