Allergic

Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), also known as hay fever, is an allergic reaction in the upper airways that occurs when sensitized individuals encounter airborne allergens (typically tree, grass, and weed pollens and some molds). Although pollen seasons vary across the United States, generally, tree pollens emerge in the spring, grass pollens in the summer, and weed pollens in the fall. Outdoor molds generally are prevalent in the summer and fall. SAR is distinguished from perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), which is triggered by continuous exposure to house dust mites, animal dander, and other allergens generally found in an individual’s indoor environment.

Over the last half century, a dramatic increase in allergic diseases has been observed throughout industrialized nations, which has resulted in significant worldwide socio-economic challenges.

This book comprehensively and thoroughly reviews the current literature regarding the impact of health disparities and socioeconomic factors on allergic diseases outcomes: such as food allergies and anaphylaxis. The morbidity associated with these conditions is significantly higher in under-privileged populations around the world, including groups who have experienced greater social or economic obstacles to health based on racial, socioeconomic, gender, geographic location. Health Disparities in Allergic Diseases presents evidence and reviews studies from both developed and developing countries that witness health disparities in allergic disease.

This book addresses a variety of important topics related to distinct aspects related to allergy. The contribution of outstanding expert authors from many countries provided update reviews on basic, clinical and treatment aspects and put in evidence further research regarding the knowledge of immune system responses and key points of allergic inflammatory reactions.

The purpose of this book is to share information and knowledge on allergic disorders in children with everybody, especially parents. Allergies in children are a common and growing problem. From the author's experience, many parents lack correct information on allergy.
