Middleton's Allergy Essentials
Por Robyn E. O'Hehir (Editor); Stephen T. Holgate (Editor); Aziz Sheikh (Editor)
"In this first edition, we have extracted what we considered to be most useful to the healthcare practitioner in his or her daily practice, with a strong emphasis on disease diagnosis and management. Because the field is evolving so rapidly, we have also included some sections on mechanisms, but only when this adds value to each disease covered. In creating this text, the authors were asked to identify relevant sections in Middleton's Allergy: Principles and Practice, 8th edition, update these, and present the revised, abridged chapters with a generalist audience in mind. Naturally, such a text has to be selective, but we hope that the topics covered address the needs of both trainee and established practitioners across the healthcare sector, to enable them to access novel information to beneficially inform their practice.
The text portion of each section is relatively brief and easy to review, with illustrations and tables aimed at providing additional and more detailed information when considered informative. We have attempted to adopt a similar format for each chapter. Throughout, there is emphasis on a practical approach to evaluation, differential diagnosis, and treatment of allergic disorders, to maximize its use. To achieve this, we have called upon the same internationally outstanding authors of the original Middleton's Allergy: Principles and Practice, 8th edition, chapters. The editors wish to express their sincere thanks to all of our authors for the very considerable amount of work they have undertaken to produce this easily accessible book."
