IgE‐associated allergic disorders: recent advances in etiology, diagnosis, and treatment
Authors:
Abstract
IgE‐associated allergic diseases belong to the most common inflammatory conditions. Their clinical manifestation ranges from mild symptoms to life‐threatening episodes. Often patients experience a reduction in physical and psychologic well‐being and suffer from a decreased quality of life due to disease activity. The continuously rising number of people that are affected by an allergic condition indicates an urgent need for better diagnostics and more efficient treatment options. Recent progress in the understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying IgE‐associated allergic disorders has led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the development of drug candidates that are currently under evaluation. In this review, we highlight studies and clinical trials, which have helped to gain further insight in the etiology of IgE‐associated allergic conditions as well as advances in the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches recently published in Allergy (European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology).Keywords
