CSAAI 2019 A Midsummer Night's Wheeze
This program is designed to allow attendees to continue exploring the immunology frontier. Covered topics include current and emerging treatments in atopic dermatitis, translational targets for new asthma therapeutics and drug desensitization to chemotherapeutic agents and biologics. In addition, recent advances in allergy diagnostic testing, an update on food allergy treatment as well as considerations in choosing a treatment for food allergy will also be presented.
