Common Allergic Disorders

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Allergic diseases constitute a wide variety of conditions ranging from allergic rhinitis to eosinophilic asthma. These disorders share antigen-triggered immune pathophysiology, typically IgE mediated. Unlike chronic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, common allergic diseases tend to have an acute episodic presentation often precipitated by environmental allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and pollen.
