Conditions We Treat at the Pediatric Respiratory and Immunology Center

Our team of expert specialists provides treatment and education to help patients with a wide array of conditions, including:

• Allergic Skin Disorders
  Allergic skin disorders include atopic dermatitis (eczema), contact dermatitis (irritant dermatitis), hives (urticaria), and angioedema.
   
• Anaphylaxis
  Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening reaction to an allergen such as a food or medication, latex or an insect sting. It comes on quickly, often within minutes of exposure, and severely affects several functions of the body.
   
• Asthma
  Asthma is a chronic disease marked by narrowed airways and excessive production of mucus.
   
• Drug Allergies
  A drug allergy is an abnormal immune system response to a medication, whether prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal. 
   
• Eosinophilic Esophagitis
  Eosinophilic esophagitis is a long-standing allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus, the tube that delivers food from the mouth to the stomach.
   
• Food Allergies
  A food allergy is an immune system reaction to normally harmless proteins in foods.
   
• Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (Immune Deficiency)
  These disorders weaken the immune system, the body’s defense mechanism, meaning that infections and other health issues are more likely.
   
• Nasal Allergies and Eye Allergies
  Some allergies trigger a runny nose or red, watery eyes.
   
• Stinging Insect Allergies
  Insect bites and stings can cause an immediate immune response.
