Conditions We Treat

Anaphylaxis is an acute life threatening allergic reaction with symptoms from many body systems. Learn more about Anaphylaxis.

Angioedema is another term for swelling. Learn more about Angioedema.

An allergy is when your body’s immune system overreacts to things that are normally considered harmless. Some people have an allergic reaction to the dander (skin flakes), saliva or urine of an animal, which is known as an animal allergy. Learn more about Animal Allergy.

Antibodies are the components of your body’s adaptive immune system that fight infections or prevent infections from occurring. When the body does not produce enough antibodies, this is known as an antibody deficiency disorder. Learn more about Antibody Deficiency Disorders.

Asthma is a breathing disorder that involves the airways becoming inflamed. Learn more about Asthma in Children.

Most cases of bee stings are simply annoying and cause only mild pain or a bump. However, they can be a medical emergency for people who are allergic to bee stings. Learn more about Bee Stings.

Common variable immunodeficiency is a disorder that affects the ability of the immune system to fight off foreign invaders and infections due to a lack of sufficient antibodies. Learn more about Common Variable Immunodeficiency.

Contact dermatitis is a skin rash that occurs due to contact with something that irritated inflammatory response in the skin. Learn more about Contact Dermatitis.

A drug allergy is when a previously sensitized child’s is given a drug/medication which he/she has an abnormal response to. Learn more about Drug Allergies.

Dust mites are microscopic insects that eat shed human skin cells. When people experience an allergic reaction to exposure to these tiny bugs, it is known as a dust mite allergy. Learn more about Dust Mite Allergies.

Eczema is a chronic skin condition, characterized by one or more areas, of itchy, red, dry thickened skin patches. Learn more about Eczema.

Environmental allergies are when the immune system overreacts to things normally considered harmless in the environment like pollens, dust mite, animals, and molds. Learn more about Environmental Allergies.

Food allergies are when a person develops allergy antibodies (IgE antibodies) to a protein in a food, and when exposed to this protein it causes an allergic reaction. Learn more about Food Allergies.

This is when an infant, typically between 2-8 weeks of age pass bloody, mucusy stools. Learn more about Food Protein Induced Proctocolitis of Infancy.

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome occurs in a small percentage of infants after ingestion of an offending food, causing repetitive vomiting sometimes with diarrhea leading to dehydration and possibly shock. Learn more about Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome.

Please see Rhinitis for further information.

These are itchy red bumps on the skin that look like mosquito bites. They come and go and do not leave any mark behind. Learn more about Hives.

IgE is short for immunoglobulin E, an antibody that is part of the body’s immune system (the system that protects the body from invading bacteria/viruses and other foreign material) present in the bloodstream. IgE type of food allergy refers to a specific type of abnormal immediate-type hypersensitivity immune inflammatory reaction, usually to a protein in a food. Learn more about IgE-Mediated Food Allergies.

The body’s immune system primarily defends one’s body against infections like bacteria, viruses and parasites. There are two broad categories of immune deficiency - those that one is born with (congenital), and those that are acquired after birth (secondary). Immune deficiency syndrome refers to a broad range of medical disorders that prevent your body from protecting itself from illnesses such as viruses and bacteria. There are a number of different types of congenital and acquired immune deficiency syndromes that can impact the body in a variety of ways. Learn more about Immune Deficiency Syndromes.

Primary immunodeficiency diseases are those where the body’s immune system is missing or does not function properly. They can be divided into those involving the innate and adaptive systems. Learn more about Innate Immunity Disorders.

Insect bites and stings are bites/stings into the skin that cause an allergic/or toxic reaction locally or systemically. While most reactions are localized and mild, they can on occasion result in severe/life-threatening problems. Learn more about Insect Bites.

Latex is a rubber derivative that is found in gloves, balloons, condoms, rubber bands, erasers, toys, and many forms of medical equipment such as tubing. When the body’s immune system has an allergic reaction to latex, this is known as a latex allergy. Learn more about Latex Allergy.

Milk allergy occurs when your child’s body’s immune system (identifies certain cows milk proteins contained in many dairy products, as harmful, triggering an abnormal bodily overreaction. Learn more about Milk Allergy.

When a child’s body overreacts to a substance that’s normally harmless like mold spores, it’s called mold allergy. Learn more about Mold Allergy.

NEMO syndrome is a rare genetic disease that impacts the immune system that predisposes the patient to frequent and serious infections, it also causes problems related to the skin, as well as the lungs, stomach and urinary tract in some instances. Learn more about NEMO Syndrome.

Natural killer, or NK cells are white blood (lymphocytes) cells which play an important role in the body’s immune system. They are part of a body’s mechanisms to control the spread of infection, destroy abnormal cells which develop in the body (like cancer cells), and when they function abnormally, they participate in the development of autoimmune diseases (where the body mistakenly attacks its own normal cells). Learn more about NK Cell Disorders.

Oral allergy syndrome is a type of food allergy where the allergic reaction only affects the lips, mouth and throat. Learn more about Oral Allergy Syndrome.

Peanut allergy is one of the most common food allergies found among children, exposure to even a tiny amount of peanuts can cause potentially severe and life-threatening symptoms for children with peanut allergy. Learn more about Peanut Allergy.

Pollen allergy is the common name for allergic reactions caused by exposure to a variety of particles like pollen, dust mites, animal fur, mold, etc. It may occur seasonally or all year round. Learn more about Pollen Allergy.

Allergic rhinitis usually presents in early childhood as an inflammatory reaction in the eyes, nose and throat caused by the body’s response to an allergen (an irritant like tree, grass or weed pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold, cockroach waste, and others). Allergic rhinitis may be seasonal or may occur all year long (perennial). Learn more about Rhinitis.

Severe combined immune deficiency is a rare genetic birth defect that doesn’t allow the body to develop an immune system, which fights all types of infections. Learn more about Severe Combined Immune Deficiency.

Shellfish allergy is when you have an allergic reaction to crab, lobster, shrimp, oysters, scallops, clams, or other shellfish. Learn more about Shellfish Allergy.

Food allergies are when a person develops allergy antibodies (IgE antibodies) to a protein in a food, and when exposed to this protein it causes an allergic reaction. If a person has an allergic reaction after ingestion of soy protein, this is known as a soy allergy. Learn more about Soy Allergy.

Please see Hives for further information.

Food allergies are when a person develops allergy antibodies (IgE antibodies) to a protein in a food, and when exposed to this protein it causes an allergic reaction. If a person has an allergic reaction to wheat, or gluten, this is known as wheat allergy. Learn more about Wheat Allergy.

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the immune system and the blood coagulation system. Learn more about Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome.
