beauty of a lover? Nut's beauty? For he surely was beautiful. You'd
reach ultimate perfection. Ultimate love But how do you do it? How

The purpose of this book is to share information and knowledge on
allergic disorders in children with everybody, especially parents.
Allergies in children are a common and growing problem. From the
author's experience, many parents lack correct information on
allergy. This has led to wrong approaches in dealing with the
problem, with some parents experimenting with all kinds of
non-scientifically proven testing and treatments. Sometimes these
treatments can be harmful for the child. The book comprises twelve
chapters, each covering a specific aspect of allergy in children.
The first part covers general issues, such as underlying
mechanisms, allergens, and epidemiology of allergic diseases. In
the second part, specific allergic diseases are covered. The book
ends with considerations on diagnosis and treatment, and offers
suggestions for future research on allergy in children. This book
will provide useful information to the public, especially parents
of allergic children. Based on current scientific information, the
book should help allergic children to obtain optimal diagnosis and
treatment of their allergic diseases.
