Asia Pacific Allergy

Aims & Scope

Asia Pacific Allergy (AP Allergy) is the official journal of the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI).

Although the primary aim of the journal is to promote communication between Asia Pacific scientists who are interested in allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology including immunodeficiency, the journal is intended to be available worldwide.

To enable scientists and clinicians from emerging societies appreciate the scope and intent of the journal, early issues will contain more educational review material.

For better communication and understanding, it will include rational concepts related to the diagnosis and management of asthma and other immunological conditions.

Over time, the journal will increase the number of original research papers to become the foremost citation journal for allergy and clinical immunology information of the Asia Pacific in the future.
