This work is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon healthcare professionals’ examination of each patient and consideration of, among other things, age, weight, gender, current or prior medical conditions, medication history, laboratory data and other factors unique to the patient. The publisher does not provide medical advice or guidance and this work is merely a reference tool. Healthcare professionals, and not the publisher, are solely responsible for the use of this work including all medical judgments and for any resulting diagnosis and treatments. Given continuous, rapid advances in medical science and health information, independent professional verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical selections and dosages, and treatment options should be made and healthcare professionals should consult a variety of sources. When prescribing medication, healthcare professionals are advised to consult the product information sheet (the manufacturer’s package insert) accompanying each drug to verify, among other things, conditions of use, warnings and side effects and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the medication to be administered is new, infrequently used or has a narrow therapeutic range.

He was an extremely gifted clinical allergist-immunologist, investigator, and educator, a true “triple threat.” We are committed to extending Roy’s tradition of allergy- immunology excellence with this newest edition, which we believe is replete with knowledge that continues to exponentially expand in our fascinating field. We have es-pecially tried to include references to the most recent evidence- based guidelines including the Practice Parameters from The Joint Task Force (JTF) on Practice Parameters, which was formed in 1989, and comprises members from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Like every edition before it, this book is written principally as a guide for physicians and other health care providers. Although it is intended to be oriented toward patient evaluation and management, there are also discussions of underlying immunologic mechanisms, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and diagnostic techniques. Because atopic diseases are common and becoming increasingly prevalent, we hope that a variety of health care providers will find this edition useful as they care for patients with allergic and other immunologic diseases. We have added two new chapters dealing with laboratory tests in allergy-immunology and personalized medicine in the discipline of allergy- immunology. We believe that caring for patients with atopic diseases sometimes is best accomplished in collaboration with physicians from other specialties. Therefore, about one quarter of the chapters are written by other specialists with whom the allergist-immunologist is likely to collaborate. Those specialties include dermatology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, psychiatry, pulmonology, and radiology. We are indebted to each of the contributing authors and hereby express our heartfelt gratitude for their participation in this 8th edition of 6 Patterson’s Allergic Diseases. Leslie C.
