WAO's mission: To be a global resource and advocate in the field of allergy, advancing excellence in clinical care through education, research and training as a world-wide alliance of allergy and clinical immunology societies.

Links for Health Professionals

WAO has assembled a comprehensive list of a wide variety of allergy-related links for patients and health professionals. For links relating to a
specific allergic disease, please visit the links section at the end of specific topics within the Allergic Diseases Resource Center sections.

If you have information about other global allergy-related links or wish to list your organization here, please click here to submit the
website address. WAO will review the site and notify you of its decision.

The Allergome website has been designed to supply information on Allergenic Molecules (Allergens).

Identified molecules causing an IgE-mediated (allergic, atopic) disease (anaphylaxis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, urticaria) have been selected from international scientific journals and from web-based resources.

It also contains data on allergenic sources whether they have identified molecules or not.
