This volume of "Agents and Actions Supplements" provided a
challenge to the editors, the authors and the publisher. It was our
aim to complete the book in advance of the lectures to be given at
the "International Symposium on Asthma and Allergic Diseases in
Childhood," in Berne, Switzerland, on March 25th-27th, 1993. This
symposium commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Swiss
Association of Parents of Asthmatic and Allergic Children. The
incidence of asthma and allergies generally is on the increase and
demands everyone's attention, including that of physicians,
researchers, allied health professionals and parents. There have
been no recent breakthroughs in our understanding of asthma
pathogenesis or treatment. However, forms of treatment,
pathogenetic insights and public awareness are undergoing rapid
changes as our knowledge of atopic diseases increases. For this
reason we chose the title "Update on Childhood Asthma." The purpose
of the papers is to summarize recent research results, to provide
an update on the current approach to therapeutic interventions and
to alert readers to the psychosomatic aspects of asthma. Whether
the state of knowledge has already changed while you are holding
this book in your hands is not so much dependent on a delay in
publishing but on the speed of appearance of new research results.
Fortunately, our ambitious target to edit the proceedings in
advance of the conference has been successful. This was only
possible because of the timely submission of papers, the speed of
publication and the enthusiasm of the editors.
