Asthma: Immunopathology and Immunotherapy / Immunopathologie Und Immunotherapie

By Friedrich Kummer

The concept of asthma being an "allergic disorder only" has dominated above others to an extent, that a re-evaluation of this issue in the light of very recent results from research in immunopathology seemed more than overdue. This volume provides a current concept of theory and clinical practice of immunopathology and therapy of asthma, comprising extensive and brand new laboratory data on atopy, intrinsic asthma, aspects of autoimmunology, as well as guidelines for allergen avoidance, immunotherapy and - last not least - pharmacological treatment of cosinophilic inflammation.
