Abstract

Baron Clemens von Pirquet, an Austrian paediatrician, proposed in 1903 the terms allergy and allergen after observing that some of his patients had “altered responses” to certain substances. Allergic symptoms are not necessarily accompanied by sensitization or vice versa. Recently, nomenclature for allergy has been revised.
