Rosenstreich David L., Fried Marvin P., de Vos Gabriele S., Jackman Alexis H. (eds.) Manual of Allergy and Clinical Immunology for Otolaryngologists

Plural Publishing Inc, 2016. — 459 p.Manual of Allergy and Clinical Immunology for Otolaryngologists presents the most up-to-date knowledge related to allergy and immunology and is directed toward the unique needs of otolaryngologists. Many of the clinical conditions treated by otolaryngologists have an allergic or immunologic pathogenesis--including sinusitis, rhinitis and otitis--and otolaryngologists are often required to use allergic methodology to treat these conditions. This text serves as a resource for physicians in the diagnosis and management of allergic aspects of common ENT problems.
This must-have reference begins with an introduction to the fundamental immunologic processes necessary to understand allergic mechanisms and diseases and goes on to address food and drug allergies, anaphylaxis, immune deficiencies, occupational allergic diseases, and tumor immunology among other topics. Otolaryngologists across all specialties as well as residents will benefit from the text's presentation of the most important aspects of each topic in a concise, easy-to-reference format.Fundamentals of Immunity
