Allergologie in Klinik und Praxis

Identify allergies specifically and treat them effectively

An undetected allergy can mean considerable discomfort for the person affected and can take a threatening course. At the same time, it is not uncommon for an allergy to be hastily blamed for symptoms that have a completely different cause.

This book is a guide to the happy medium, which means discovering an allergy in time as well as safely ruling out an allergy - if necessary. The content covers the variety of symptoms and triggers as well as many suggestions for diagnostic and therapeutic decisions:
Allergens (extensive allergen catalog): Pollen, dust mites, foods, contact allergens, wasp venom, drugs, etc.
Diagnostics: allergen-specific IgE, test plans (prick test, intradermal test, epicutaneous test), nasal and oral provocation, etc.
Treatment: measures to avoid contact with allergens, classical medications and biologics, allergen immunotherapy (hyposensitization)
