Allergology is a medical specialty that studies a vast number of diseases and pathologies in various fields, for both children and adults, which have a close relationship with other specialties such as Otolaryngology, Pneumology/pulmonology, Dermatology, but with one common origin: the development of an anomalous response of our immune system against initially innocuous substances called allergens. Thus, the allergist is the only specialist who addresses all these diseases.
In the last 30 years, there has been an increase in the frequency of respiratory allergies, food allergies, allergies to drugs and cutaneous allergies. Although it can affect any age, the allergic pathology is usually more frequent among children and young people, which is why we treat all population groups indistinctly.
Based on the knowledge and experience of this consulting room in handling the most current techniques for diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases, both paediatric allergology and allergies in adult patients are carefully evaluated with processes such as:
- Respiratory pathology: rhinitis and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, allergic bronchial asthma.
- Dermatological Allergies and Pathologies such as hives, angioedema, eczema, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, itch …
- Food Allergies: Oral Allergy Syndrome, hives / Food Angioedema, Food Anaphylaxis.
- Drug Allergy: Idiosyncrasy to NSAIDs, Allergy to Antibiotics, Allergy to Contrasts.
- Latex Allergy.
- Allergy to Hymenoptera: wasp and bee stings
All of this is achieved by means of the most up-to-date techniques, diagnostic processes and treatments:
- Intraepidermal skin tests or Prick-tests
- Patch test
- Tests of Pulmonary Function: Simple Spirometry, Forced Spirometry, Flow-Volume Loops and Bronchodilator tests.
