Europe

World's largest Congress on allergy & immunology with delegates from over 100

countries to present new ways of treating allergies

The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) will

hold its annual congress 16 - 20 June in

Geneva

latest advances in the field of allergy and clinical immunology will be

presented to specialists from around the world, making it the leading

medical congress on allergy and immunology globally. Ground-

breaking research results will be presented with the goals of reducing

the impact of allergy by early detection, finding ways of prevention

and improving the treatment of the growing number of patients.

Exposure to allergens during pregnancy will be a key topic during the EAACI

Congress, as well as how stress provokes reactions such us as asthma or

eczema in the newborn. Japanese researchers have found that anxiety in

Information Network (HIALINE project), showing the differences in pollen

potency between European countries, and allowing better monitoring of

allergies across

Europe

.

EAACI Congress 2012

The scientific programme includes an overview of the current practice trends

and provides the best platform to communicate science and education. From

"Childhood, the tipping point towards allergy", to "Revisiting the origins of

allergy", the seven plenary symposia are focused on covering the most current

topics in the field.

To complete the scientific agenda, an extensive programme full of sessions,

courses, meetings and workshops will comprehensively address all areas of

allergy and clinical immunology. More than 1,800 abstracts that represent the
