The chapter on allergy and immunology reviews the risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of atopic diseases and immunodeficiency diseases. The material is presented in an engaging clinical vignette and question-and-answer format. The key medical conditions covered in the chapter include allergic and atopic diseases such as asthma, food allergy, anaphylaxis, urticaria/angioedema, drug allergy, and stinging insect allergy; it also touches on rarer primary immunodeficiency diseases. It highlights key clinical features to enable differentiation of allergic disorders from their mimickers; it provides a diagnostic approach to evaluate primary immunodeficiency diseases, and it covers both acute/urgent and long-term disease management.

Wheal And Flare

Standard allergy testing relies on identifying the IgE antibody specific for the allergen in question. Two classic methods of doing this are the immediate wheal-and-flare skin prick tests (a small amount of antigen is introduced into the skin and evaluated at 15 minutes for the presence of an immediate wheal-and-flare reaction) and in vitro testing. Allergy testing that does not have a clear scientific basis includes cytotoxic testing, provocation-neutralization testing or treatment, and "yeast allergy" testing. Allergy-related conditions such as asthma, chronic rhinitis, urticaria and angioedema, anaphylaxis, food allergy, stinging insect allergy, and drug allergy are reviewed.
