Immunology & Allergy

The use of immune system constituent or antigens to treat a disease or disorder is known as immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is most common used to treat allergies, autoimmune disorders such as chon’s disease, hashimoto's thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis, and certain cancers. Immunotherapy is also often used for patients who are immunosuppressed and people with other immune deficiencies. In this era of precision medicine, our ability to tailor therapies for individual patients, along with biologic agents such as monoclonal antibodies, will revolutionize the management of difficult-to-treat conditions such as severe asthma, hives, eczema, nasal polyps, and food allergy. Allergy and immunology covers the hundreds of immune diseases that affect millions of people.
