AnaphylaxisPeople with atopic conditions, and their primary care physicians, may well be familiar with the concept of the“atopic march” or the “allergic march,” which describes the natural progression of related conditions that can emerge at different ages. These terms have traditionally described atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and asthma as the three conditions that some people are likely to develop in succession over time, with the common factor being the presence of TH2 disease, or Type 2-mediated inflammation. The larger medical community and the public are not yet as familiar as they should be with the role of eosinophils in creating inflammation and the concept of TH2 disease. 

This slide set and accompanying speaker guide were created to help allergists, allergy specialists, and primary care colleagues understand the pathophysiology of TH2 disease and its role in various inflammatory conditions.

You are welcome to customize the slides and speaker notes to suit your needs, but please ensure the core content and ACAAI acknowledgments remain unchanged.

Topics covered include:

  • Understand the pathophysiology of Type 2 inflammation and its role in various inflammatory conditions.
  • Identify the clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food allergies, asthma, nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis.
  • Recognize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the role of allergists/immunologists in managing Type 2 inflammatory conditions effectively.
