Allergic and Immunologic Diseases: A Practical Guide to the Evaluation, Diagnosis and Management of Allergic and Immunologic Diseases
Editat de Christopher Changen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 noi 2022
This book is unique in that it explains the rationale behind everything we do in allergy and immunology, hence it offers readers specific information on procedures and how to order tests and treat allergic and immunologic diseases.
- Contains useful information on allergic and immunologic diseases, from why we do things the way we do, to methodologies, interpretation of the results and management of diseases
- Provides information that can be immediately downloadable for any specific procedure or treatment algorithm for immediate use
- Evaluates scientific merit and evidence or lack thereof

Recenzii
"...a comprehensive resource on allergic and immunologic diseases that includes all need-to-know information from basics to clinical practice,… an in-depth reference guide on the fundamental aspects of basic and clinical allergic and immunologic diseases…. [A] few features of this book [are] fascinating. First, the table of contents has detailed subheadings; second, each chapter has a section entitled "how to use this chapter"; and finally, the "clinical pearls" section highlights the important teaching points of each chapter. This book is a valuable resource on allergic and immunologic diseases. It shares the expertise of over 100 contributors in a two-volume collection. Those who care for allergic patients will find this book practical and beneficial on a day-to-day basis." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Massoud Mahmoudi, DO, PhD (University of California San Francisco)
