Word origin
The term 'allergy' was first coined by the Viennese pediatrician Clemens von Pirquet in 1906. He used it to describe an altered reaction of the body's immune system to substances that are normally harmless. Over time, research has expanded our understanding of allergies, leading to advancements in diagnosis and treatment.
