Area of Science:

  • Immunodermatology
  • Allergology

Context:

  • The skin harbors numerous immune cells, including Langerhans cells, mast cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils, making it a primary site for allergic reactions.
  • Allergic reactions manifest in the skin in approximately 45% of food allergy cases and 90% of beta-lactam antibiotic allergies.
  • The skin also functions as a diagnostic organ for allergies affecting other systems, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, through various testing methods.

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnosis and therapy of common allergic skin diseases.
  • To highlight recent research progress in understanding and managing these conditions.

Summary:

  • The skin is a frequent target and signaling organ for allergic reactions due to its rich immunological cell population.
  • Common allergic skin diseases include urticaria, angioedema, vasculitis, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis.
