Allergy is of great importance to doctors in that an enormous proportion of patients are (or claim to be) suffering from allergy. It is hard to distinguish genuine and potentially serious immunological disease from other non-specific illness. This book presents a short highly illustrated account of the subject using the presentational techniques of the "Illustrated Colour Text series" - double page spread, extensive use of graphics, and key point boxes.
