Reviews

From the reviews: "Designed for primary care physicians, students, residents and allergy fellows, this up-to-date practical clinical overview also becomes worthwhile to renovate the skills of the comprehensive therapist. … It can be used either for quick reference about specific problems or for overall perspective." (William H Wehrmacher, Comprehensive Therapy, January, 2009) "The primary audience for this work is … primary care physicians, medical students, residents, and junior allergy fellows. … Clinical Allergy: Diagnosis and Management meets its goals of providing clinically applicable information for primary care physicians and students. It serves as an excellent reference for reading about advanced topic within the fields of allergy and immunology." (Scott H. Sicherer, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 301 (14), 2009) “In ‘Clinical Allergy: Diagnosis and Management’ the author provides a practical and comprehensive overview of the most common conditions encountered in the allergy specialty. … At the end of each chapter several clinical vignettes are presented and discussed to highlight the practical approach of the allergic patient. In summary, ‘Clinical Allergy: Diagnosis and Management’ by Dr. G.W. Volcheck can be considered as a comprehensive and quite complete practical guide for students and physicians interested and involved in the field of allergy.” (Didier G. Ebo, Acta Clinica Belgica, Vol. 64 (2), December, 2009)
