New Trends in Allergy V' is the fifth volume of a series focussing on new trends in experimental and clinical allergology. The interdisciplinary character is documented by articles from such different fields as basic immunology, chemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, epidemiology, pneumology, dermatology, otolaryngology, pediatrics and psychosomatic medicine. Special emphasis is given to the role of both anthropogenic (pollutants) as well as natural environmental factors in the development of allergy. Among new pathophysiological concepts, dendritic cells, lymphocyte interactions, mast...

Allergy is one of the major health problems of most modern societies. Although allergic diseases are well-known for almost two hundred years, their prevalence has increased dramatically over the last decades. Allergic reactions manifest in various organs, most commonly in the skin and mucous membranes, the frontier surfaces where the contact between the individual and the environment takes place. In a very concise and practical way this book covers all aspects of allergic reactions from pathophysiology to diagnosis, therapy and prevention with a strong focus on relevant aspects for the...

Die Zunahme pathophysiologischer Erkenntnisse im Bereich der Der matologie hat auch zu einer wesentlichen Erweiterung therapeutischer Ansatze gefiihrt. Waren friiher therapeutische Bemiihungen besonders bei entziindlichen Dermatosen hauptsachlich durch Anwendung auBerlicher TherapiemaBnahmen gekennzeichnet, so verfUgt der Dermatologe heute iiber hochdifferente, systemische Therapeutika wie Antibiotika, Gluko kortikoide, Immunsuppressiva, Retinoide oder Zytostatika u. a., mit denen es gelingt, viele Hauterkrankungen wesentlich zu bessern oder zur Abheilung zu bringen. Die groBe Vielfalt sehr...

The international symposium "New Trends in Allergy," held in Munich from July 13 to 15, 1990, brought together for the third time since 1980 some of the most experienced researchers working in the field of allergy. This volume comprises the papers presented at this meeting. All over the world, and not merely in the industrialized countries, allergy is becoming a cause of evermore serious diseases. In recent years, research in the field of allergy has provided numerous impor tant and fascinating results extending our knowledge considerably. Despite the new insights into basic mechanisms of...

Anergic reactions and anergic diseases are found in many fields of medicine. As wen as affecting the skin, allergic diseases occur in internal organs such as the lungs and the kidneys and in the vascular and nervous systems. Interdisciplinary understanding and cooperation thus seem necessary to get a better insight into allergic reactions in the different fields of medicine in order that we may give our patients the best diagnostic and therapeutic care. Allergic diseases are on the increase. Studies from Sweden show that 15% of the population there are atopic, and some people speculate that...

There is no doubt among experts that the prevalence of allergic diseases has increased in many industrialized countries in recent years. The rea sons for this increase are unknown; only suppositions exist. Many people focus on environmental influences. However, the assumption that air pollution alone is responsible for this increase seems to be too simple: many other influences, including the genetic predisposition of individual patients, allergen exposure, and possibly socioeconomic factors, also have to be taken into consideration. Although our understanding of the complex mechanisms of...

Der Grundgedanke dieses Buches ist der pragmatische Umgang mit Komplikationen, also wertfreies Aufzeigen des Abweichens vom "idealen" Verlauf in der Dermatologie. Die dermatologische Diagnostik und Therapie umfassen eine Vielzahl verschiedener Verfahren, die von konservativen bis zu invasiven Techniken reichen. Eine Zusammenfassung klinisch relevanter Komplikationen, getrennt nach verschiedenen diagnostischen Schwierigkeiten, ist in dieser Form neu. Eindrucksvolle Beispiele sind die Abnahmetechniken von Schuppenmaterial bei mykologischen Untersuchungen oder von Hautbiopsien zur histologischen...
