title: [Functional classification of allergic diseases].
abstract: Allergology is the oldest branch of clinical immunology. Allergic reactions are subject to the laws of all immune reactions from the antigen presentation to the effector mechanisms. Coombs' and Gell's classical four types of allergy should and could therefore now be expanded by a functional classification oriented towards the T- or B-lymphocytes and the immunoglobulins involved in the pathogenesis.
