Editorial Reviews

Review

BMA Medical Book of the Year 2007

"This book is in some ways two separate books joined into one volume - the first half is an introduction to clinical allergy and the second is mainly immunological science. As such, it is a clear and graphic introduction to current management and mechanisms of allergy." BMA Awards 2007

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, November 16, 2006
By 
Peter (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Allergy, 3e (Hardcover)
This book has excellent pictures and tables, however it lacks in depth and substance. For example, in the atopic dermatitis section, there is no discussion on differential diagnosis/other clinical conditions to consider. The drug allergy chapter has a nice chart for drug desensitization, but the chapter lacks a good discussion on any of the most important drugs...IE the PCN drug section is skimpy at best. And for some reason, they don't even have devoted chapter on food allergy. Overall, I am disappointed with this book. This book is best applicable to medical students and residents. In my opinion, it will not fit the need of Allergy/Asthma/Immunology fellows or practicing staff. I highly recommend "Pediatric Allergy" (also from Mosby) which is an excellent resource for Pediatric Allergy. Patterson's Allergic diseases is also good reference.
