injection and local administration routes of immunotherapy.
Upon completion
of this program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the
standardization of allergen extracts
- List the
efficacy, safety and long-term benefits of immunotherapy

Food Allergies
This module gives
an extensive review of food allergy, from pathology and mechanisms
of IgE-mediated and T-cell-mediated food allergy to diagnosis and
clinical management.
Upon completion
of this program, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the
main pathogenic food allergens in adults and children
- Differentiate
between IgE-mediated, cell-mediated and mixed IgE- and
cell-mediated food-related diseases in different organ systems
- Discuss the
diagnosis of food allergy and the limitations of diagnostic
techniques
- Describe the
treatment of food allergy

The Angioedema
module reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, genetics and
management of acquired and genetic forms of angioedema.
Upon completion
of this program, participants should be able to:
- Outline the
major causes and differential diagnosis of angioedema and
hereditary angioedema
- Explain the
treatment options for the management of hereditary and acquired
angioedemas
|
Module 7:
(pdf 6Mb) |
|
The module has been
developed to provide a global overview on the pathophysiology,
epidemiology, diagnosis and management of Anaphylaxis, a
life-threatening allergic condition.
Upon completion
of this program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the
different mechanisms which underlie anaphylaxis and the agents
most likely to cause it
- Recognize the
signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis
- Describe the
principles of the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis

Module 8:
(pdf 7Mb) |
|
This module reviews
the specificity and sensitivity of the major diagnostic tests--skin
testing and allergen-specific IgE antibody serology--that help to
determine the pathological mechanisms underlying allergic symptoms.
Upon completion
of this program, participants should be able to:
- Recommend the
appropriate clinical tests for diagnosing allergic diseases
- Discuss the
appropriate use of skin prick tests and serum tests in the
diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergic diseases
- Describe the
interpretation of clinical history and false positive and false
negative diagnostic tests
- Discuss the use
of allergy testing to measure response to allergen avoidance and
immunotherapy
