Immunology
We diagnose and treat patients with immune system disorders.
Immunology is the study of all aspects of the immune system. It deals with things like:
- physiological functioning of the immune system in health and disease
- malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders
- physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the immune system.
A healthy immune system defends the body against disease and infection.
