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.

  • primary (genetic) and secondary (environmental) immunodeficiencies such as HIV
  • lymphoproliferative disorders, for example, certain types of leukemia and lymphomas
  • monoclonal gammopathies, for example multiple myeloma
  • chronic infections.

We also offer a full range of diagnostic autoantibody tests diagnose:
