Summary:

Allergies affect approximately 40 million people each year in the United States, 40% of whom are children. Recent studies indicate that allergic diseases, particularly asthma, are progressive and worsen over time. This suggests that effective early intervention may greatly diminish their lifelong impact. Pediatric Allergy: Principles and Practice provides all the state-of-the-art information you need to diagnose, manage, and treat virtually any type of allergy seen in children. With editors and contributors who rank among the world's most noted authorities in the fields of pediatrics and allergy, this text offers you definitive, practical coverage of today's best knowledge in the field.
