ACAAI annual meeting to showcase new discoveries, treatments

Healio.com/Allergy will present live coverage of the 75^th American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology annual meeting from Boston beginning Oct. 26 through Oct. 30.

“This year’s meeting is all about keeping up with what’s new in our field and applying evidenced-based medicine to our daily practices,” Bradley E. Chipps, MD, FACAAI, ACAAI president-elect and program chair, said in the meeting program. “The track structure from the 2016 meeting is back, and the sub-committees have reviewed submissions from the college members and made their recommendations to the program committee. This way, the meeting is created by, and for, college members, on the topics that matter most to [our members].”

The conference will include workshops, symposia and presentations on topics including hereditary angioedema, asthma and food allergy.

Thursday will feature a morning and afternoon session on what ACAAI lists as two trending topics – food allergy and atopic dermatitis.

The morning session will cover infectious complications, the role of contact allergy, epidemiology and the newest treatment for atopic dermatitis. The afternoon session will touch upon new guidelines that have been issued involving food allergies.
