A growing area of medicine, physicians who concentrate their skill set in this specialty support the management of disorders related to the immune system. Representative diseases evaluated by an allergist/immunologist include:
Allergic conjunctivitis
Asthma and other respiratory tract-related conditions
Gastrointestinal disorders
Dermatitis
Adverse reactions to food, drugs, insect bites, or vaccines
Immune deficiency syndromes
Antibody deficiencies
Autoimmune diseases
Stem cell, including organ transplantation
Additionally, allergists and immunologists are increasingly addressing issues related to mold exposure, which can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory symptoms in susceptible individuals. They assess patients for mold allergies, provide guidance on reducing exposure, and manage symptoms through medications and allergy desensitization treatments.
These specialists conduct comprehensive evaluations using skin tests, blood tests, and other diagnostic tools to pinpoint the specific triggers causing immune system reactions. Treatment plans are personalized to each patient, aiming to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life. Collaborating closely with other healthcare providers, allergists and immunologists ensure integrated care that addresses the immediate symptoms and underlying immune system dysfunction.
