Aims & Scope

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology is the world's leading journal in pediatric allergy, publishing original contributions and comprehensive reviews related to the understanding and treatment of immune deficiency and allergic inflammatory and infectious diseases in children. Other areas of interest include: development of specific and accessory immunity; the immunological interaction during pregnancy and lactation between mother and child. As Pediatric Allergy and Immunology promotes communication between scientists engaged in basic research and clinicians working with children, we publish both clinical and experimental work.
