Introduction
Allergy and Immunology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions caused by immune system overreaction (allergies) or immune system dysfunction (immunologic disorders). These conditions can affect the skin, respiratory system, digestive system, and the entire body.
Allergic diseases are extremely common and may include seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis, asthma related to allergens, eczema, food allergies, and drug allergies. Some immune-related conditions involve reduced immune function, leading to frequent or severe infections.
Because symptoms such as chronic sneezing, nasal congestion, cough, wheezing, skin rashes, or swelling can have many causes, accurate diagnosis is essential. Allergy and immunology specialists use structured evaluation and evidence-based testing to identify triggers and build personalized treatment plans.
