This volume highlights the areas in which immunological mechanisms are now known to be involved in disorders of the ears, nose and throat. These include the normal defence mechanisms of the upper respiratory tract, the immunology of the tonsils and failures of immunity, such as fungal infections, granulomatous disorders and malignancies. Disorders of the middle and inner ear are considered, as are nasal polyposis and various aspects of allergy: allergic rhinitis, and food sensitivity in relation to the nose and allergy. A final chapter deals with the future prospects for immunological involvement in ENT disorders. The volume provides insights, with possible novel therapeutic approaches, not only to otorhinolaryngologists, but also to audiologists, allergists and respiratory physicians. It also provides an up-to-date background for any immunological researcher in this field.

The most common immunological disorder in humans, rhinitis has a marked effect on quality of life and significant co-morbid associations, including asthma. Successfully diagnosing and treating nasal disorders is often problematic, yet is a necessary skill not only for ENT surgeons, but also for chest physicians, allergists, paediatricians and general practitioners. Written by internationally respected experts, Investigative Rhinology supplies the information necessary to make a precise diagnosis in order to provide effective treatment.The book covers medical history taking, examination of the patient, and tests, including skin prick testing, radiology, cytology, airways measurements, nasal challenge, smell tests, quality of life questionnaires, and nitric oxide estimation. Each chapter is extensively illustrated and an appendix contains useful documents such as history proformas, charts of predicted peak flow based on age and height and advice leaflets that can be photocopied for use in the clinic.Rhinology is a complex topic encompassing basic anatomy, physiology, and all aspects of sinonasal inflammation, infection, and neoplasia. This work is a unique and important resource not only because of the comprehensive and up-to-date information it provides, but because it draws on the knowledge and expertise of pioneers at a center of excellence, the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital in London.

This book examines in detail many rhinologic issues that are not covered in other books, are still not completely understood, and can be difficult to deal with clinically In each chapter, three authors – a young otorhinolaryngologist, a senior author, and an international expert – elaborate on a specific issue, such as the role of immunotherapy in treating nasal polyps, the management of rhinitis during pregnancy, how rhinitis can differ in adults and children, how to choose between open or endonasal rhinoplasty, the ideal form of anesthesia for nasal surgery, etcThe volume will appeal to a wide readership, from otorhinolaryngologists to allergists and facial plastic surgeons, as well as trainees and students in related fields

Until recently, the contribution of immunological knowledge to the under standingand management ofENTdisorders was slight, being largely confined to the appreciation that many rhinitic patients were allergic. Happily, this situation is rapidly changing: the immunological basis of many disorders of the ears, nose and throat is becoming recognized and the mechanisms of the reactions involved are being elucidated. From this, rational therapy should evolve. This book aims to highlight some of the areas in which immunological mechanisms are involved in otorhinolaryngology. It is written by experts in their respective fields of immunology and allergy, otology, rhinology and pathology. It opens with an overview ofthe pathways ofthe immune response and the cells and molecules involved, leading to an appreciation of the normal defence mechanisms of the upper respiratory tract and possible areas offailure. There is then a chapter on HIV infection and how this may present to otorhinolaryngologists. The normal function of the tonsil and the immunological effects oftonsillectomy are then considered. The varying roles of fungi in ENT disorders ranging from commensal through allergen to invasive organisms is assessed by Professor R. J. Hay. Perhaps the most obvious immunological contribution to management thus far lies in the immunocytochemical diagnosis of pathological conditions of the ears, nose and throat and this is covered in a chapter by Professor Leslie Michaels.
