BackgroundDiseases with an allergic etiology can affect many organ systems and occur in response to a wide variety of environmental factors. Allergic diseases are among the most common causes of chronic medical problems in both adults and children and are associated with high morbidity. They carry a large socioeconomic burden [9–12] and can result in catastrophic anaphylaxis or fatal asthma attacks. Systemic hypersensitivity diseases include, among others, asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, otitis, rhinosinusitis, urticaria, angioe-dema, eczema, food allergy, drug allergy, insect allergy, occupational allergic diseases, and anaphylaxis. Conventionally, allergic diseases have been divided into those associated with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated hypersensitivity and those involving other forms of hypersensitivity [13]. As a medical specialty based on immunology, the allergy specialty (in some countries, called allergology) is concerned with prevention and diagnosis of the disease and management and rehabilitation of patients with allergic and related diseases.
