Reviews

The book specifically targets pediatricians and allergists. However, allergy fellows, residents, medical students, and nurses who rotate in allergy clinics will also benefit from this valuable resource. ... This book is a brief yet valuable resource for pediatricians, allergists, and fellows-in-training. The information helps to keep up with this progressive area of pediatric allergy. (Massoud Mahmoudi, Doody's Book Reviews, July 24, 2020)
