Asthma as an allergic condition
The intent of the program was to look at asthma through the perspective of the pediatric allergist. The literature indicates that up to 85% of children with asthma may have an allergic component. When allergic sensitization is discovered in a young child who wheezes, it may portend a more chronic condition and there may be many years of struggling with the problem. Two specialty services will see children with asthma- allergy and pulmonary. There is no need for two specialties to be involved in a child’s asthma care. The pediatric allergist can take care of the asthma, the allergic triggers for the child’s asthma, and any of the other allergy concerns that are frequently seen in these children. The specialty of pediatric allergy is capable of helping with all the issues. Be sure to request allergy services for your asthmatic child.
This lecture was part of a program given by myself and my partner, Dr. Girish Vitalpur. The program was a CME offering by the department of Pediatrics at Riley, 2008. The 3 hour program was ‘Asthma as an Allergic Condition’.
The outline for the program was as follows;
Definitions and Background
Asthma and Allergy Connections- The Atopic March
The Allergy Evaluation for Asthma
Asthma Treatment- the Environment
Asthma Treatment- the Immune System

Puzzling, Perplexing, Problematic Allergies in Children
This talk was my part of a three specialty approach – allergy, gastroenterology, and dermatology. I shared the podium with Drs. Travers and Gupta. Dr. Travers spoke on atopic dermatitis and Dr. Gupta spoke on eosinophilic esophagitis. My role was to tie in how type one or IgE-mediated reactions- classical allergy presents and how it is diagnosed.
