Description: Food Allergy is a unique book that employs a scientific approach to explore both pediatric and adult adverse reactions to foods and food additives. Building on the successful formula of its previous editions, this comprehensive reference has solidified its position as an essential resource for healthcare professionals treating patients with or suspected of having food allergy.

The fifth edition of Food Allergy has been thoroughly revised and updated, making it a practical and readable guide for use in hospital or private practice settings. Each chapter can stand alone, but together they form a mosaic of current ideas and research on adverse reactions to foods and food additives.

Covering the basic and clinical perspectives of adverse reactions to food antigens, as well as those to food additives, the book also delves into contemporary topics including diagnostic approaches. This edition is tailored for clinicians, nutritionists, and scientists interested in food reactions, serving as an invaluable resource for all working in this field.
