title: Update in allergy and immunology.
abstract: Internal medicine has witnessed astounding developments in our understanding of the immune system's role in the pathophysiology of many diseases. The present challenge is to harness this knowledge to develop more effective therapies for immune-related illness. Guidelines for the care of common illnesses such as asthma may encourage appropriate clinical application of advances in our armamentarium against immune disease.
