Title: The patient with allergies. Author: Franzese CB, Burkhalter NW. Journal: Med Clin North Am; 2010 Sep; 94(5):891-902. PubMed ID: 20736101. Abstract: Allergic disease affects a sizeable percentage of the general population, has a significant impact on patient quality of life, and exerts a significant financial burden on society.

Diagnostic testing may not be necessary unless immunotherapy is contemplated.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
