Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic diseases in children have been a growing concern over the past few decades, with significant increases in prevalence observed in conditions such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and food allergies. These conditions can severely impact the quality of life of children and their families, necessitating a comprehensive approach to understanding and managing pediatric allergies.
This Special Issue aims to collate the latest research and insights into the mechanisms, risk factors diagnosis, management, and prevention of allergic diseases in children. By focusing on cutting-edge studies, we seek to provide a platform for the dissemination of knowledge that can improve clinical practices and patient outcomes.
Recent advancements in the field have highlighted the role of early life nutrition, genetic, environmental, and immunological factors in the development and progression of allergic diseases in children. Studies have shown that early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing these conditions effectively.
We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and clinical studies that explore the following:
- The epidemiology of pediatric allergies;
- Novel diagnostic methods and biomarkers;
- Innovative management and treatment strategies;
- Preventive measures and early intervention;
- Growth of children with allergy;
- Economic burden of allergic diseases;
- The psychosocial impact of allergies on children and their families.
