Review

“The book specifically targets pediatricians and allergists. However, allergy fellows, residents, medical students, and nurses who rotate in allergy clinics will also benefit from this valuable resource. … This book is a brief yet valuable resource for pediatricians, allergists, and fellows-in-training. The information helps to keep up with this progressive area of pediatric allergy.” (Massoud Mahmoudi, Doody’s Book Reviews, July 24, 2020)
