Based on extensive clinical, histological, and experimental
studies, this guide serves as an authoritative source of
information on the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis,
and treatment of cutaneous lymphomas-reflecting the
state-of-the-art in the field of cutaneous lymphomas-presented in
the context of the brand-new WHO/EORTC-consensus-classification.
Anergic reactions and anergic diseases are found in many fields of
medicine. As wen as affecting the skin, allergic diseases occur in
internal organs such as the lungs and the kidneys and in the
vascular and nervous systems. Interdisciplinary understanding and
cooperation thus seem necessary to get a better insight into
allergic reactions in the different fields of medicine in order
that we may give our patients the best diagnostic and therapeutic
care. Allergic diseases are on the increase. Studies from Sweden
show that 15% of the population there are atopic, and some people
speculate that in Germany about 10%-15% of all adults suffer from
one of the many different allergic conditions. We in our clinic
also have the impression that the incidence of atopic reactions has
increased in recent years. The figure of 15% would mean something
like 200 000 people in Munich alone We all know that a wide variety
of environmental factors can induce allergic reactions in the skin,
the respiratory system, or internal organs. The most important
anergens in our environment are pollen, molds, animal dander,
housedust mite, food or food additives, various insects, industrial
compounds and drugs. The direct costs of hospital and community
medical care, other services, and drugs to help patients with
asthma, hay fever, and skin allergies have in creased considerably
in the last 10 years. The figures should make it clear to everybody
that we are dealing with a health and environmental problem of
great practical importance."
Recent progress in the fields of pharmacology and immunology has
provided us with new possibilities for treating dermatological
diseases. This book reviews the most important immunosuppressive
and immunostimulatory drugs and gives helpful, practical
information on the treatment of various dermatoses, including
autoimmundiseases, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vasculitis,
contact dermatitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, infectious diseases, and
neoplasms of the skin - in particular, malignant melanoma.
From the first to the third of August, 1980, an international sym
posium entitled "New Trends in Allergy" was held in Munich,
sponsored by the Ludwig-Maximilian University, Munich, in
cooperation with the German Society for Allergy and Immunity
Research and the European Society for Dermatological Research. The
symposium pursued two main goals: to bring allergy oriented
colleagues from various specialties such as dermatology,
otorhinolaryngology, pediatrics, internal medicine, immunology, and
pulmonology together for interdisciplinary contacts and dis
cussions; and to attract internationally known experts in an effort
to disseminate information on new and fundamental develop ments in
allergology. The fact that English has become the lingua franca at
congresses for the exchange of ideas in medical specialties led to
the decision to hold the symposium in English. In spite of the mild
handicap this posed for some participants, it was also a major
factor in the symposium's success. This book contains the papers
delivered by the invited speakers together with the poster
presentations. They cover both basic ex perimental research as well
as clinical problems in allergology."
Die in den letzten Jahren zunehmende Inzidenz des malignen Melanoms
hat diesen b-sartigsten Tumor der Haut vermehrt in den Vordergrund
des Interesses der Dermato-Onkologie ger}ckt. Besondere Beachtung
verdienen in diesem Zusammenhang neue therapeutische M-glichkeiten
mit Interferon undInterleukin als Immunmodulatoren. Die
Besch{ftigung hiermit ist ein wesentlicher thematischer Bestandteil
des Buches. Dar}ber hinaus werden Besonderheiten von Hauttumoren
bei Jugendlichen und bei alten Patienten er-rtert.
