Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: “... Ziel des hier vorgestellten Leitfadens zu Hauttests ist es, die praktische Umsetzung der ICDRC-Empfehlungen in den klinischen Alltag darzustellen. ... Mit seinen 195 Seiten – aufgelockert durch zahlreiche Tabellen und farbige Abbildungen - versteht sich dieses Buch als Ergänzung zu den umfangreichen Standardwerken. Hilfreich für den eiligen Leser sind eine klar strukturierte Inhaltsangabe, unter denen vielfach in übersichtlichen Spiegelstrichen gegliedert die wesentlichen Informationen aufgeführt sind. ... Doch auch theoretische Grundlagen ... werden kurz und bündig dargestellt. Insgesamt ein Buch mit großer praktischer Nutzanwendung.“ (Franziska Rueffl, in: JDDG Journal der Deutsche Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2010, Vol. 8, Issue 3, S. 219)()
