Allergic skin diseases belong to the most common dermatoses. This book
deals with fundamental (in particular immunological aspects) as well as
clinical symptoms and therapeutic strategies of the allergic skin
diseases.
Cells involved in the pathomechanisms of allergic skin disease are
described in individual chapters. The allergic skin diseases which will
be discussed are atopic dermatitis, being the chronic inflammatory skin
disease with the highest prevalence, allergic contact dermatitis with
special focus on contact dermatitis from cosmetics, being the most
frequent cause of contact dermatitis and occupational contact
dermatitis. The broad ethiology of urticaria and the value of several
therapeutic strategies will be explained. The chapter on drug allergy
will deal with the variety of symptoms and the difficulties concerning
in vitro and in vivo diagnosis.
The book is of great interest to clinicians working in the field of
dermatology, allergology, pediatrics and even general practitioners.
