Atopic diseases

Allergic asthma is chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which a wide variety of cells (mast cells. Eosinophils, TH2 lymphocytes) and mediators play a role.

Atopic dermatitis

Allergic rhinitis

Allergic asthma

• Allergic rhinitis is affection of the nose (and ocular conjunctiva) caused by IgE-mediated inflammation of nasal mucosa after allergen exposure.

• Atopic dermatitis is inflammatory disease of the skin which is mediated by T cells and stimulated by IgE-dependent reactions.
