Dr Christiane Hilger, together with a team of international experts in the field, developed a new clinical and diagnostic algorithm for allergies to furry pets.

The algorithm is published in the journal Allergy, it shows how molecular diagnosis can identify genuine sensitization and polysensitization profiles to furry animals, thereby advising patients on allergy management.
