Allergic disorders in African countries: linking immunology to accurate phenotype.

abstract：:The eosinophilic granulocyte is commonly associated with allergic inflammation. Although blood eosinophilia frequently accompanies atopic dermatitis, accumulation of tissue eosinophils is not prominent. Recent studies have elucidated the structure, content, and activities of the eosinophil. In addition, immunofluoresc...
