Practical Allergy
This eminently useful and well thought out book is intended for busy primary care physicians - family practitioners, paediatricians, and allergists and clinical immunologists, who see and treat patients with allergic disorders. The focus in this beautifully presented full-colour book is on the most common disorders, and the editorship is unique, featuring the input of two full-time family physicians, one of whom completed an allergy and immunology fellowship, and two full-time allergists.
The book is divided into three easily referenced sections :
1. Core topics
2. Procedures
3. Reference materials.
The evidence-based approach is enhanced by a user-friendly outline format . Clearly written referral guidelines inform readers when to refer patients to specialists, and practical procedural guidelines offer 'how-to' techniques and information for important allergy procedures. Diagnostic workups, management guidelines, and practice guidelines provide state-of-the-art information in multiple formats - written outline, algorithm, and accompanying illustrations - in the diagnosis and treatment of allergy. Special considerations materials provide recommendations for complicated patients. A free accompanying CD-ROM contains extensive print patient education materials meant both for care provider referral and for handing out customizable treatment information to patients.
