Patterson's Allergic Diseases

by Leslie C. Grammer

Patterson's Allergic Diseases Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Revised, updated, and expanded for its Sixth Edition, this highly acclaimed volume is a complete, current, and practical clinical reference on allergic disorders. It will remain the first-choice resource for residents and practitioners who need guidance to identify an allergy, confirm a diagnosis, or find effective therapies. Twelve new chapters in this edition cover latex allergy; radiologic evaluation of allergic diseases; physiologic assessment of pulmonary allergies; evaluation of eosinophilia; inhaler devices; glucocorticoids; beta agonists; other antiallergic drugs; novel therapies; immunodeficiency workup; allergic disorders and psychiatric dysfunction; and chronic sinusitis. Areas of expanded coverage include drug allergies and ICU management of asthma. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.

Book News Annotation:

Forty-two chapters contain information on the diagnosis and management of most conditions in the field of Allergy-Immunology. Functioning as both a textbook and a reference, the collection addresses issues like immune deficiency, hypersensitivity, biochemical mediators, allergens, airborne pollen, allergic rhinitis, extrinsic antigens, eye and ear conditions, stinging insects, food allergy, dermatitis, drug allergy, anaphylaxis, asthma, occupational lung disease, pregnancy, radiologic evaluations, latex allergy, antiallergic drugs, chronic sinusitis, wheezing infants, and sleep disorders.
