Allergy for rhinologists.
Our knowledge of the pathophysiology of allergy continues to grow, and with that understanding better treatment methods are being developed. An understanding of the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of allergy is mandatory for the physician who is treating patients with nasal and sinus disorders. Provision for this aspect of patient care will materially benefit such patients, although ignoring it places the physician at risk for repeated treatment failures.
