Specialization

Immunology

Select the specialist and schedule your appointment

The field of science that studies biological and biochemical bases of the immunological and defensive reaction of the organism to a pathogen or other foreign substances or bodies. An immunologist identifies and treats disorders of the immune system and its improper functioning.

How does a visit look like?

When it comes to diseases connected with immunity, reliable diagnosis and interview with the patient are of utmost importance. The immunologist studies the patient’s medical history, identifies undesirable reactions to treatment or vaccination. When problems with the immune system are suspected, the patient is referred to detailed blood tests.

When is it a good idea to seek medical assistance?

A visit is recommended when we notice frequent occurrence of symptoms attributable to body immunity deficiencies. The European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) developed a list of 10 symptoms that may suggest primary immunodeficiencies and they are worth studying. The immunologist also provides the information on the prevention of infections
