Features: This is currently the most systematic and comprehensive clinical medical monograph on pediatric allergic diseases in China. The book is divided into five parts and thirty-three chapters, with each part and chapter interconnected yet independent. Part 1 introduces the basics of immunology and the theoretical foundations of allergy based on immunology. Part 2 focuses on allergology pharmacology, providing a detailed explanation of the pharmacological effects, routes of administration, common side effects, and their prevention of drugs commonly used in the treatment of pediatric allergic diseases. It emphasizes the latest drugs and new delivery methods in the treatment of pediatric allergic diseases. Part 3 covers specific allergic diseases, discussing the clinical characteristics and treatment methods of pediatric allergic diseases. Although allergic diseases are clinically often referred to as type I hypersensitivity disorders, to ensure clinicians have a comprehensive understanding of allergies, this book not only highlights diseases related to type I hypersensitivity but also introduces other types of allergic diseases. It also touches on some diseases with unclear etiologies that may be related to allergies. Part 4 explores the application of traditional Chinese medicine in allergic diseases, introducing the TCM theory of allergies, the pharmacological effects of TCM herbs commonly used for allergic diseases, their formulations, secret recipes, and the TCM treatment of common pediatric allergic diseases. Therefore, this book is a must-read for professionals in pediatric-related fields and can also serve as a reference for medical teachers and researchers.
