The Section of Pediatric Allergy provides comprehensive
outpatient and inpatient testing, diagnosis and treatment of common
and unusual allergic and immunologic disorders in children through
age 21.
Typical problems treated include: asthma; allergic
rhinitis; atopic dermatitis; urticaria; anaphylaxis; food, medication
and bee-sting allergies; and inherited immune deficiencies and
recurrent infections.
Complete outpatient diagnostic testing services
are offered, including allergy skin testing and immunologic evaluation,
pulmonary function testing, rhinoscopy, tympanometry and ingestion
challenge testing. Treatments available for specific allergic
or immunologic problems include desensitization and intravenous
gamma globulin.
Members of the section are actively involved in
allergy research, and specific testing is part of various research
protocols. Patients may be seen in regularly scheduled allergy
clinics or on an emergency basis. Pediatric allergy patients can
be seen at the main campus or at our family health center locations.
