Impressions of the Present Management of Allergic Diseae in Childhood

Abstract

Thank you for asking me to address the International Symposium on Pediatric Allergy. I confess that I should have been more humble and said “no” to Dr. Rapaport just once more, since my knowledge of allergy is somewhat dated and limited. However, I was fortunate to be closely associated with Drs. Bela Schick, Gregory Schwarzman, Murray Peshkin and Arthur Coca, also Howard Rapaport and Harold A. Abramson, all leaders in the study of infection, immunity and allergy.
