This issue of Acta Medica Croatica is dedicated to historical development and role of allergology and clinical immunology in Croatia. Also listed are the names of experts who have historically marked allergology and contributed to its development. Understanding the origin of allergies as immune phenomena occurred in Croatia simultaneously to many other European countries. The origin and development of institutions established in the early 1920s constituted the backbone of a solid vertical line, crucial for the development of allergology and immunology in Croatia during the past century. Interest of allergology experts from various medical specialties has resulted in the establishment of Allergy Section at the Croatian Medical Association in 1952, now Croatian Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology of the Croatian Medical Association. It turned out that the work of institutions and physicians, as well as cooperation with the Croatian Immunological Society and other scientific institutions during the second half of the 20th century provided solid foundation for contemporary research, design and development of allergy subspecialty centers and units at various medical institutions all over Croatia. Members of the Croatian Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology have played an important role in educating new generations of physicians and in the organization of numerous research projects, symposia, congresses and seminars. Continuous, scientific and professional work has resulted in active Society membership in the European Academy of Clinical Immunology and Allergology.
本期《克罗地亚医学学报》致力于探讨过敏学和临床免疫学在克罗地亚的历史发展及作用。文中还列出了在历史上对过敏学有显著影响并推动其发展的专家姓名。在克罗地亚，对过敏作为免疫现象的认识与许多其他欧洲国家同时出现。20世纪20年代初建立的机构的起源和发展构成了一条坚实的纵向主线，对过去一个世纪克罗地亚过敏学和免疫学的发展至关重要。来自各个医学专业的过敏学专家的兴趣促使克罗地亚医学协会在1952年设立了过敏学分会，即现在的克罗地亚医学协会过敏学和临床免疫学学会。事实证明，20世纪下半叶各机构和医生的工作，以及与克罗地亚免疫学会和其他科研机构的合作，为克罗地亚各地各类医疗机构当代过敏亚专业中心和单位的研究、设计和发展奠定了坚实基础。克罗地亚过敏学和临床免疫学学会的成员在培养新一代医生以及组织众多研究项目、研讨会、大会和学术讲座方面发挥了重要作用。持续的科学和专业工作使该学会积极加入了欧洲临床免疫学和过敏学学会。
