Reviews

“The authors target primary care providers and specialists who manage or help manage asthma, allergic, and immunologic diseases during pregnancy. The book specifically benefits allergists and immunologists who treat pregnant patients. … This is a valuable book for health providers who care for pregnant patients suffering from allergic diseases. … this book fills a void in the allergy literature.” (Massoud Mahmoudi, Doody's Book Reviews, November 08, 2019)
