Preface I am happy to present to you the Challenging Cases in Allergic and Immunologic Diseases of the skin. This book like our preceding title, Challenging cases in Allergy and Immunology, is a collection of interesting and challenging cases affect- ing thousands of people who suffer from allergic and immunologic skin diseases. A wide range of subjects from simple skin allergy to complex autoimmune diseases of the skin are discussed and presented in an easy-to-follow format. This book consists of five parts and 20 chapters, and each chapter presents two cases. What makes this book unique is the style of its presentation. Each case starts with a short abstract, followed by case presentation, working diagnosis, data, final diagnosis, and discussion. For the purpose of clarification, most chapters have included several colorful photos for better illustration of the case and discussion. To further stimulate the readers’ thought process, we have prepared five multiple choice questions per case with answer keys. Although most questions are short, a few are in case presentation format. This book is intended to target clinicians, educators, fellows, residents, medical students, nurses, and allied health providers who are involved in learning or educat- ing in the areas of allergy, immunology, or dermatology. This collection is an effort of a distinguished group of clinicians, researchers, and educators. A combined work and contribution of allergists, dermatologists, and rheumatologists have made this title a multispecialty reference book. I would like to extend my gratitude to all contributors, especially Professor Howard Maibach and his team who contributed four chapters on allergic contact dermatitis and one on contact urticaria syndrome, and my mentor professor Lloyd Cleaver and his team who contributed three chapters on urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Finally, I am indebted to Humana and Springer for leading the role in allergy and immunology education evidenced by hundreds of titles in this area, and Richard Lansing, the executive editor, who initially accepted my proposal and guided me during the preparation of the previous and the present title. I also would like to thank Amanda Quinn for editorial assistance and the entire editorial and production team at Humana/Springer. vii viii Preface I hope you find this collection and the previous title “Challenging Case in Allergy and Immunology” useful resources and use them to guide your trainee. I am looking forward to hear your comments, and I will be happy to address them in the future edition of this book. I can be reached at [email protected].
