Preface
O
ur goal is for the 8th edition of Patterson’s Allergic Diseases to be an
excellent source of current practical information just as the first edition was
when it was published in 1972 with Dr Roy Patterson as the sole editor. He was
an extremely gifted clinical allergist-immunologist, investigator, and educator, a
true “triple threat.” We are committed to extending Roy’s tradition of allergy-
immunology excellence with this newest edition, which we believe is replete
with knowledge that continues to exponentially expand in our fascinating field.
We have es-pecially tried to include references to the most recent evidence-
based guidelines including the Practice Parameters from The Joint Task Force
(JTF) on Practice Parameters, which was formed in 1989, and comprises
members from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and
the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.
Like every edition before it, this book is written principally as a guide for
physicians and other health care providers. Although it is intended to be oriented
toward patient evaluation and management, there are also discussions of
underlying immunologic mechanisms, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and
diagnostic techniques. Because atopic diseases are common and becoming
increasingly prevalent, we hope that a variety of health care providers will find
this edition useful as they care for patients with allergic and other immunologic
diseases. We have added two new chapters dealing with laboratory tests in
allergy-immunology and personalized medicine in the discipline of allergy-
immunology.
We believe that caring for patients with atopic diseases sometimes is best
accomplished in collaboration with physicians from other specialties. Therefore,
about one quarter of the chapters are written by other specialists with whom the
allergist-immunologist is likely to collaborate. Those specialties include
dermatology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, psychiatry, pulmonology, and
radiology. We are indebted to each of the contributing authors and hereby
express our heartfelt gratitude for their participation in this 8th edition of
