Drugs in Allergy and Asthma

The incidence of asthma-related morbidity and mortality is increasing, despite the availability of a wide variety of therapies.

New Drugs in Allergy and Asthma provides an up-to-date review of important aspects of the pathophysiology of asthmatic and allergic disorders.

This has implications for drug treatment and the development of new therapies.

Written by recognised intemational researchers, this volume includes sections on phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes, atopy and environmental factors, adhesion molecules, cytokines, bronchial hyperreactivity, established anti-asthma drugs and models for evaluation of new drugs.

New Drugs in Allergy and Asthma will be of interest to pneumologists, allergologists, pharmacologists and immunologists concerned with asthma and allergy research as well as scientists and clinicians working in related areas.
