Abstract
The skin is a large and sophisticated organ populated by innate and adaptive immune effector cells. These immune cells provide a critical first line of defense against pathogens, but genetic and environmental factors can lead to inappropriate signaling that may manifest as hypersensitivity. The most common cutaneous allergic disorders in children include atopic dermatitis, urticaria/angioedema, and contact dermatitis. In this review, we will briefly review these conditions, with a focus on recent developments in our understanding of the diagnosis and management of these disorders.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology is the world''s leading journal in pediatric allergy, publishing original contributions and comprehensive reviews related to the understanding and treatment of immune deficiency and allergic inflammatory and infectious diseases in children.
Other areas of interest include: development of specific and accessory immunity; the immunological interaction during pregnancy and lactation between mother and child.
As Pediatric Allergy and Immunology promotes communication between scientists engaged in basic research and clinicians working with children, we publish both clinical and experimental work.
