"Anaphylaxis and Sensitisation: With Special Reference to the Skin and Its Diseases" is an authoritative medical study exploring the intersection of allergic reactions and dermatological health. Written by R. Cranston Low, a prominent physician and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, this work provides a detailed examination of the physiological mechanisms of anaphylaxis and the clinical significance of sensitization in human patients.

The text focuses specifically on how the skin serves as both a site for allergic manifestation and a key organ for diagnostic investigation. Low bridges the gap between general immunology and specialized dermatology, discussing topics such as serum sickness, protein hypersensitivity, and the underlying causes of conditions like eczema, urticaria, and asthma. By analyzing contemporary research and clinical observations, the author sheds light on the role of antibodies and antigens in triggering cutaneous reactions.

This volume represents a landmark in early 20th-century medicine, offering a foundational perspective on the evolving science of allergy. It is an essential resource for medical historians, dermatologists, and immunologists interested in the historical development of our understanding of immune system responses and their direct impact on skin pathology.
