The asthma-allergy “family”
Symposium Chairs: A. Yorgancioglu (Izmir, Turkey), A. Bossios (Stockholm, Sweden)
Aims: to provide practicing clinicians an update on the molecular biology and pathology of the “organs” that associate with asthma and to describe how these “organs” and allergy connect to asthma. These “organs” include the gut, skin, nose and small airways. This session will help day-to-day clinicians to become aware of the roles that these “organs” play in the clinical manifestations of asthma. This session will also provide an update on the immunoregulatory pathways that are involved in the clinical manifestations of asthma.
