The prevalence of asthma and other allergic diseases is on the rise worldwide, with a marked impact on quality of life and socioeconomics. Allergy Frontiers comprises six volumes, each dedicated to a specific aspect of the disease to reflect the multidisciplinary character of the field and its explosive growth. Included are reviews by world-renowned scientists from Europe, North and South America, Australia, Japan, other parts of Asia, and South Africa.

In this second volume of the series, the pathomechanisms of various allergic diseases and their classification are given, including such important special aspects as allergy and bone marrow, allergy and the nervous system, and allergy and mucosal immunology. This book serves as a valuable tool for scientists and as a practical guide for clinicians working in the fields of allergy, asthma, and immunology.
