Review quotes

"The Leung book will continue to be one of the most valuable reference texts in pediatric allergy and clinical immunology for students, residents and fellows in training as well as for primary care physicians and specialists in all of the various subspecialties of medicine and surgery entrusted to the care of infants and children." - Joseph A. Bellanti, MD

"This book provides a broad yet concise overview of the field of pediatric allergy and immunology. The organization makes it useful as a day-to-day reference for clinicians. At the same time, it dedicates adequate space to relevant new knowledge in the basic sciences. It is very well written and would serve as a singular reference for pediatricians managing patients with allergic and immunologic disease." - Larry Montelibano, MD, Doody's Review Service
