Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atopic disorders, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, represent the most prevalent chronic conditions in children and often coexist within the same patient, following the trajectory of the so-called “atopic march.” This Special Issue aims to explore the complex pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and evolving treatment strategies for pediatric allergic diseases. We welcome original research, reviews, and clinical studies addressing immunological insights, biomarker discovery, precision medicine, and advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Contributions focusing on early identification, prevention strategies, and long-term outcomes are particularly encouraged.
