HEALTH HISTORY AND CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
A comprehensive allergy history and a
thorough physical exami-nation provide useful data for the diagnosis and
management of patients with allergic disorders. An assessment form is useful
for obtaining and organizing this information (Chart 53-1).
The degree of difficulty and discomfort
experienced by the pa-tient because of allergic symptoms and the degree of
improve-ment in those symptoms with and without treatment are assessed and
documented. The relationship of symptoms to exposure to possible allergens is
noted.
