The major emphasis is on common allergic diseases and the agents used to control them. To keep the approach fresh, some new authors were solicited, while returning authors were asked to write on different topics. Chapters have been added on antihistamines, antileukotrienes, and recurrent respiratory tract infections in children." (Consultant)
