Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology is a peer-reviewed journal designed to promote understanding and advance the treatment of respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases of children. The journal delivers original translational, clinical epidemiologic research on the most common chronic illnesses of children—asthma and allergies—as well as many less common and rare diseases. It emphasizes the developmental implications of the morphological, physiological, pharmacological, and sociological components of these problems, as well as the impact of disease processes on families. Periodic themed issues provide state of the art reviews on rapidly changing and/or under-recognized areas in the field. Interviews with leading scientists in the field help to document our current history. Being grounded in the past and looking to the future, this journal facilitates advances in the fields of pediatric allergy, immunology, and pulmonology.
