Understanding Allergy (Penguin Life Expert Series Book 4)

Product Information

The second edition of Drug Allergy is an essential reference for practitioners across the medical disciplines from specialist clinicians, surgeons, GPs, residents, and medical students to nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and those taking undergraduate and graduate courses in the biomedical sciences. As GPs, we don’t even treat a lot of it anymore (patients with hayfever are first of all sent to the pharmacy), the treatments for eczema or asthma tend to follow step-by-step guidelines that are easy enough to implement (often by practice nurses), and on the other hand we refer straight on to allergy specialists if patients present with puzzling symptoms that may be allergic. It was written by AAFA New England Board of Directors members Michael Pistiner, MD and Jennifer LeBovidge, Ph. New content expands to two areas of drug allergy that have recently experienced explosive growth: biological therapies and new targeted chemotherapies. Intended for children as well as parents and caregivers, this book offers some guidance on identifying signs of food allergy anxiety and helpful ways to teach kids how to manage it.
