title: [Allergology in Denmark 2006].
abstract: Allergic diseases are prominent, possibly life threatening, and a cause of worldwide concern. Evidence-based education of doctors in the specialty of allergology is a prerequisite for correct diagnosis and treatment of patients with allergic diseases. Recently, the specialty of allergology has been abolished in Denmark, without any upgrading of the education of doctors in related specialties. As a consequence, one could fear that allergy expertise will be disappearing. We propose collaboration among experts from related specialties with joint mediation of knowledge through a centre of allergology, common educational programs for doctors in training and physician specialists, and collaboration in regional centres of allergology.
