This state-of-the-art volume explores the interrelationships between asthma, atopic illnesses, immunological diseases, and pregnancy, elucidates potential effects of specific treatments, and discusses optimal preventive, diagnostic, and management measures for ensuring the well-being of the pregnant woman and her fetus or infant.
Covers gestational asthma, anaphylaxis, rhinosinusitis, urticaria/angioedema, atopic dermatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV infection, immune deficiency states, and other conditions-including immunological factors leading to fetal loss!
