Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergy and asthma continue to represent major global health challenges, driven by rising prevalence, increasing environmental pressures, and substantial disease burden across all age groups. Despite advances in diagnostic methodologies and targeted therapies, many patients still experience persistent symptoms, exacerbations, and impaired quality of life. In recent years, rapid developments in immunology, molecular diagnostics, and precision medicine have reshaped our understanding of airway inflammation, endotypes, and comorbidities. These scientific gains offer powerful opportunities to refine diagnostic algorithms, personalise treatment choices, and improve long-term clinical outcomes.
This Special Issue, “Allergy and Asthma: Clinical Diagnostics and Management,” brings together cutting-edge research, expert reviews, and real-world insights to address the evolving landscape of these complex conditions. We aim to highlight novel biomarkers, innovative diagnostic tools, and emerging therapeutic strategies—including biologics, digital health solutions, and multidisciplinary care models. By integrating translational science with clinical practice, this issue seeks to advance evidence-based approaches and underscore the importance of early recognition, accurate phenotyping, and holistic patient-centred management.
We hope that the contributions in this collection will inspire further research, foster international collaboration, and ultimately support clinicians in delivering more precise and effective care for individuals living with allergy and asthma.
Dr. Askin Gulsen

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
